After installation, the gateway checks the connection to the Ethernet and to the inverter.
•
If the Ethernet connection (connection to the internet resp. web portal) works, the
gateway sends a message to the inverter. The following message appears on the
display of the inverter: "Portal Connection ok".
•
If the Ethernet connection is not working, the following message appears on the
display of the inverter: "No Portal Connection":
Both messages will be displayed for 120 sec.
If the message "No Portal Connection" appears on the display, please check the Ether-
net connection of the gateway and your internet connection.
If no message appears on the display, please check the RS485 connection between
gateway and inverter and ensure that all inverters have unique RS485 bus IDs.

Troubleshooting rS485 / Ethernet Communication
If one connection (Ethernet or RS485) works, try to exchange the cables. If now the
other interface works it is very likely that one cable is broken.
