  • Page 12: Introduction

    Introduction 5. Introduction The T2S ETH stands for T2S Ethernet. It replaces the former T2S with the same form factor but with a front Ethernet connector replacing the former USB one. Like his predecessor, T2S ETH is a monitoring solution for the full TSI inverter range and is able to monitor up to 32 inverters through a friendly web base interface.

  • Page 13: Hardware

    Hardware 6. Hardware T2S ETH provides 3 LEDs: Red for major alarm signaling, orange led for minor alarm signaling and green led for power and network connection status. The RJ45 is a standard ETH connector that could be connected on any IPv4 network. T2S ETH firmware can be upgrade using the Micro SD card.
