7.1.1 Information on Extended Network Settings
Changing extended network settings
Do not change any network settings in the network devices if you are not clear about the
effects of the change. Changes to values could lead to the existing network not functioning
at all or only working partially. If you have any questions, contact your network
administrator.
Sunny WebBox Wizard
It is recommended to use the Sunny WebBox Wizard for commissioning the Sunny
WebBox and for its integration into a network. You can download the Sunny WebBox
Wizard at www.SMA-America.com.
You can assign static network settings to the Sunny WebBox or obtain these dynamically via a DHCP
server. Additionally, a proxy server can be used for the Internet connection.
If you would like to make the Sunny WebBox available on the Internet, for example to allow direct
access to the Sunny WebBox via Sunny Portal, you must configure port redirection in your router. It
may be necessary to adjust the HTTP port and the NAT port.
7.1.2 Activating / Deactivating DHCP
The Sunny WebBox can obtain its network settings via a DHCP server (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol). If activated, the IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS server are obtained
automatically from the DHCP server during the start of the Sunny WebBox. Use the Sunny WebBox
Wizard to find the Sunny WebBox in your network.
Activating DHCP
1. Select the Sunny WebBox in the plant tree and select "Settings" in the device menu
or
Click the button "Settings" in the toolbar.
2. Select the parameter group "External Communication > Ethernet".
3. Select [Edit].
4. Under "DHCP" select "Yes" in the "Activated" field in order to get the network settings
dynamically assigned.
5. Select [Save].
☑ The Sunny WebBox obtains the network settings automatically via the DHCP server.
