Setting Up Tcp/Ip Networking - Solectria Renewables PVI 14TL Installation And Operation Manual

Installation and Operation Manual (Rev B)

7.7 Setting up TCP/IP Networking

Connection to the Internet and to the SolrenView web-based monitoring service requires a
functioning TCP/IP protocol. This protocol runs over twisted pair Ethernet wiring and requires
certain connections to properly operate. By default the SolrenView gateway should automatically
configure TCP/IP address from a network router by using the DHCP protocol. In certain cases it
may be necessary to override these settings or to manually configure the TCP/IP settings.
NOTE: The network router must be 10T capable.
NOTE: Customers using SolrenView AIR do not need to setup TCP/IP as this is done
in the factory prior to shipping the inverter.
Viewing Current TCP/IP settings:
1. Select the Info function on the Main Menu and the press ENTER button.
2. Information on the inverter will be displayed including the IP, gateway, and netmask settings.
Press the ENTER button to hold the display on the item of interest.
In the above example, the IP address, gateway and netmask values are being automatically being
set through the DHCP service. The exact values displayed will depend on the configuration of the
network, but typically are in one of three ranges:
10.0.0.0
192.168.0.0
172.16.0.0
3. If the network is working on the Ethernet protocol level, but the SolrenView is unable to obtain
settings through the DHCP service the following will typically be displayed:
– 10.255.255.255
– 192.168.255.255
– 172.31.255.255
