8.1 Configuration Procedure
Once you have commissioned the PV system, you may have to adjust various settings via a
communication product. This section describes the procedure for configuration and gives an
overview of the steps you must perform in the prescribed order.
Procedure See
1. If you want to integrate the PV system into a Speedwire
network, connect the Sunny Multigate to the network. Section 8.2, page 44
2. To manage the PV system data or to set the operating pa-
rameters, capture the Sunny Multigate in a communication
product. Section 8.3, page 45 and
Section 8.4, page 46
3. Change the PV system time and PV system password. Manual of the communica-
tion product at www.SMA-
Solar.com
4. Check which country data set the Sunny Multigate is set
to. Supplementary sheet with
default settings
5. If the country data set is not set correctly for your country
or your purpose, adjust to the required country data set. Section 8.6, page 47
8.2 Connecting the Sunny Multigate to the Network
You can configure the Sunny Multigate and the inverters using an SMA communication product
(e.g. Sunny Portal, Sunny Explorer).
In order to register your PV system in Sunny Portal, you must connect the Sunny Multigate to the
local network.
