(see the router manual). If you do not want to use DHCP or your router does not support DHCP, use either the SMA Connection Assist or Sunny Explorer to integrate the inverters with Speedwire/Webconnect data module into the local network (see Section 2.4 "Supported Products", page 11).
Procedure: 1. Connect the computer to the PV system router with a network cable. 2. If you have used the SMA Connection Assist for static network configuration, ensure that the SMA Connection Assist has terminated. 3. Start Sunny Explorer and create a Speedwire system for the small-scale PV system in Sunny Explorer (see Sunny Explorer help).
Procedure: • If necessary, adjust the preset ports in the Speedwire/Webconnect data module for Modbus ® ® ® communication (see technical description "SMA Modbus Interface" or "SunSpec Modbus Interface" at www.SMA-Solar.com). 6.5 PV System Registration in Sunny Portal 6.5.1 Registering a Large-Scale PV Power Plant with...

SMA America, LLC 6 Commissioning Small-scale PV system with Speedwire/Webconnect data module cannot be combined with other PV systems If you already have a PV system set up in Sunny Portal with a different communication device, e.g. Sunny WebBox, you will still need to create a separate small-scale PV system with Speedwire/Webconnect data module.
7 Decommissioning SMA America, LLC 7 Decommissioning 7.1 Disassembling the Speedwire/Webconnect Data Module Danger to life due to electric shock when opening the inverter High voltages are present in the conductive components of the inverter. Touching live components results in death or serious injury.
Corrective measures: • Make sure DHCP is enabled for the router • Use SMA Connection Assist or Sunny Explorer to assign an appropriate static IP address to the Speedwire/Webconnect data module. You can obtain the Sunny Explorer and SMA Connection Assist software free of charge from the download area at www.SMA-Solar.com.
