6. Use a pre-crimped cable to connect via gland #1 to the RJ45 plug on the inverter's communication
board or, if using a spool of cable, connect as follows:
a. Insert the cable through the gland.
b. Remove the cable's external insulation using a crimping tool or cable cutter and expose eight
wires.
c. Insert the eight wires into an RJ45 connector, as described in Figure 19
d. Use a crimping tool to crimp the connector.
e. Connect the Ethernet connector to the RJ45 port on the communication board.
7. For the switch/router side, use a pre-crimped cable or use a crimper to prepare an RJ45
communication connector: Insert the eight wires into the RJ45 connector in the same order as above
(Figure 19).
8. Connect the cable RJ45 connector to the RJ45 port of the Ethernet switch or router.
You can connect more than one inverter to the same switch/router or to different switches/routers,
as needed. Each inverter sends its monitored data independently to the SolarEdge monitoring
platform.
9. The inverter is configured by default to LAN. If r econfiguration is required:
a. Make sure the ON/OFF switch is OFF.
b. Turn ON the AC to the inverter by turning ON the circuit breaker on the main distribution panel.
c. Use the internal user buttons to configure the connection, as described in Communication on
page 34.
NOTE
If your network has a firewall, you may need to configure it to enable the connection to the
following address:
Destination Address: prod.solaredge.com
l
TCP Port: 22222 (for incoming and outgoing data)
l
10. Verify the connection, as described in Verifying the Connection on page 53.
