Connect Using the IQ Gateway Local Interface
The IQ Gateway relays data to Enphase Installer App using an Internet connection. However, even if
there is no active Internet connection, you can communicate directly with the IQ Gateway using the
Ethernet port and a personal computer or mobile device with a web browser. With your computer or
mobile device connected to the same LAN (local area network) as the IQ Gateway, you can access the
IQ Gateway interface.
1. Use the IQ Gateway's built-in Wi-Fi or connect an Ethernet cable between a
computer and the IQ Gateway.
2. Open an Internet browser application on a computer or mobile device connected to the
same LAN as the IQ Gateway.
3. In the browser address window, enter http://IQ Gateway.local to view system details and status.
If there are additional IQ Gateway units on the network, you can access them by entering the
following strings in the browser window:
•
http://IQ Gateway-2.local
•
http://IQ Gateway-3.local, and so on
Once the browser has successfully
connected with the IQ Gateway, the
home screen is displayed in the
browser window.
