with the AE data center using https (port 443). Communications is one way – the
inverter only communicates externally to the AE data center. Typically the inverter
posts approximately 50 kB of data to the data center every 15 minutes. The inverter
may post data more frequently for a short period of time if there is an inverter fault.

Connecting the Ethernet Cable

PARTS OR TOOLS REQUIRED
You need the following parts and/or tools to make the Ethernet cable connection:
• Ethernet LAN cable (Category 5 or above)
• RJ45 modular connector plugs
• Appropriate conduit fitting
• Ethernet hub, switch or router to provide network connectivity
• Cable tester
TO MAKE THE INVERTER'S ETHERNET CONNECTION
Use the following steps to complete the connection of the Ethernet cable to the
inverter's communication interface PCB:
1. Route the Ethernet (CAT5) cable from the Internet-enabled router, at the gland
plate location on the upper left side of the inverter, using the proper conduit
and hub connectors.
