Page 11: Tcp/Ip Web-Based Utility Option
If the inverter is connected to a network with a DHCP server it will be assigned an IP address automatically. To find the current IP address of the inverter you will need to run the IP Address Discovery Utility (available on the Tools download section of the ICT Web page http://www.ict-power.com/tools-utilities/ ) to locate the connected inverter and see the assigned IP address. -

Windows computer connected to the same network as the inverter, and it will report the IP addresses of all ICT units connected to that network. The inverter will otherwise use the factory default IP address of 192.168.0.180, as shown above. -
Page 13: Device Setup
Figure 8: Device Setup Page Device Info: Device Name: Enter a custom descriptive name for the inverter, if desired. Model: Displays the ICT model number for the inverter. Hardware: Displays the hardware version of the inverter. Network Watchdog: Watchdog Enabled: Check this box to enable the watchdog feature, which will cause the unit to periodically ping up to two remote IP addresses to verify the network connection status. -
Page 14: Network Setup
Secondary IP Address: Enter an optional second IP address that the unit can monitor to verify network status. The network watchdog will only trigger if both the primary and secondary IP addresses fail to respond. Watchdog Timeout: Enter the time (1 to 80 minutes) that the remote IP address must stop responding to ping requests from the inverter, before the network watchdog will trigger an inverter output power cycle. - Page 15 Network: MAC Address: Displays the MAC address assigned to the inverter. Enable DHCP: Check this box (default) to turn on this setting if your network uses a DHCP server to automatically assign IP addresses. To manually assign a static IP address to the unit, uncheck this box and then set the following parameters.
- Page 16 UDP Port: Enter a UDP port within the range of 1 to 65565 to be used for applying firmware upgrades to the inverter. The default UDP port is 9393. SNMP: Configure these settings if you would like to use SNMP based monitoring. SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is an industry standard protocol for network management software.

The unit has no password assigned by default so an Administrator password should be assigned to your inverter for improved security. NOTE: Record your new password for future access! If the administrator password is lost, the unit must be reset to return the password to the blank default setting which will also cause a reset to all the other settings. -

For improved security you should normally use a HTTPS (secure) connection when accessing the inverter over the Internet with the Mobile Web App, or use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection. Mobile Web App As shown above the Mobile Web App provides information on Battery Voltage, Inverter Output Voltage, Inverter Output Power, Output Power Source (from battery, or external AC source), and any alarms. -
Page 22: Router Configuration
ROUTER CONFIGURATION Use this section to set up an inverter with remote internet access when located behind a router. A router allows multiple PC to share a single internet connection, and must be configured correctly to forward incoming remote data to the local IP address of your inverter. - Page 23 Figure 13: Typical Router Port Forwarding Screen 5. Determine the WAN IP address of your router assigned by the ISP. With the example router this information is on the Status tab, listed as IP Address. NOTE: When using a dynamic IP address the router’s WAN IP address may change from time to time without warning, depending on your ISP.
