Envoy Local Interface

The Envoy relays data to Enlighten, and connection to the Enphase Enlighten web-based monitoring and
analysis software requires an Internet connection. However, if there is no broadband router at the installation
site, you can communicate directly with the Envoy using the Ethernet port and a personal computer with a
web browser.

Connecting to the Envoy through the Site's LAN

The following steps describe how to access the Envoy data through the site's LAN (local area network).
1. Open an Internet browser application on a computer connected to the same LAN as the Envoy.
2. In the browser address window, enter the IP address displayed in the LCD screen of the Envoy.
Once the browser has successfully connected with the Envoy, the home screen is displayed in the browser
window.

Directly Connecting to the Envoy without a Broadband Router

The following steps describe how to access the Envoy data through the local connection in the absence of a
broadband router.
1. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable supplied with the Envoy to the Ethernet port on the
Envoy.
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port of the computer.
3. Open an Internet browser application on the computer.
4. In the browser address window, enter the IP address displayed in the LCD screen of the Envoy.
NOTE: If you fail to make a connection at this point, you can manually configure your subnet to
169.254.120.2 and subnet mask to 255.255.0.0. If this does not correct the problem, contact
Enphase Customer Support (support@enphaseenergy.com).
Once the browser has successfully connected with the Envoy, the home screen is displayed in the browser
window.
