Method A: Ethernet Cable; Method B: Power Line Communication Bridges; Method C: Enphase Wireless Adapter (Wi-Fi) - enphase Envoy Installation And Operation Manual

Method A: Ethernet Cable

a. Plug the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on the
Envoy.
b. Plug the other end of the cable into a spare port on the
broadband router.
WARNING! Do not remove power from the Envoy if
the LCD displays:
"Upgrading. . . Do Not Unplug."

Method B: Power Line Communication Bridges

Order EPLC-02 (EU), EPLC-03 (UK) or EPLC-04 (AU) separately.
If you need to locate the Envoy away from the router, at a distance where an Ethernet cable is not
practical, use power line communication bridges with the Envoy or purchase a wireless Ethernet bridge.
Bridges allow the Envoy to communicate with the broadband router without the need for additional
Ethernet cabling. To install the power line communication bridges:
WARNING! Do not remove power from the
Envoy if the LCD displays:
"Upgrading. . . Do Not Unplug."
a. Plug one of the bridges into the same AC outlet that
the Envoy is using.
b. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the
Ethernet port on the Envoy.
c. Connect the other end of that Ethernet cable to the
bridge.
d. Plug the other bridge to an AC outlet near the
broadband router.
e. Connect one end of a second Ethernet cable to the
second bridge.
f. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable into the broadband router.
g. If the broadband router is operational, press and hold the Envoy menu button. Release the
button when the LCD displays Get New IP Address. Wait for 5 minutes. If this fails, unplug the
Envoy, wait for 15 seconds, and plug it back in. Wait 5 minutes for connection.

Method C: Enphase Wireless Adapter (Wi-Fi)

Order WF-01 separately.
To use the Enphase wireless adapter, you need a wireless router. To install the wireless adapter, do the
following:
NOTE: If using a wireless adapter, you must use the Enphase-provided wireless adapter,
and the router or access point must support wireless connections (Wi-Fi). Other wireless
adapters may not operate correctly and
are not supported by Enphase.
a. On the Envoy, verify that no Ethernet cable
is plugged into the Envoy RJ45 port.
b. Verify that the wireless router you are
connecting to supports Wi-Fi WPS. On the
router, look for a button labelled "WPS". If
