SMA SB 240 - Manual (Page 45)

☐ Maximum cable length between two nodes when using patch cables: 50 m
☐ Maximum cable length between two nodes when using installation cables: 100 m
☐ UV-resistant for outdoor use
Requirements:
☐ The PV system must be commissioned (see Section 7 "Commissioning the PV System", page 42
).
☐ A computer with an Ethernet interface must be available.
Procedure:
1. Connect one end of the network cable to the router or directly to the computer.
2. Plug the other end of the network cable into the
pin connector at the bottom of the Sunny
Multigate.
☑ The green LED in the pin connector is glowing or flashing. The Sunny Multigate is connected to
the router or the computer.
☑ The green LED in the pin connector is glowing or flashing and the yellow LED is glowing: A
100 Mbit connection to the router or the computer is established.
✖ All LEDs in the pin connector are off.
Possible failure cause: the other end of the network cable is not correctly attached or there is
no voltage supply.
• Make sure that the router or computer is supplied with voltage.
• Make sure that the network cable is correctly attached.
• If the network cable is correctly attached and the problem persists, contact the SMA
Service Line (see Section 16 "Contact", page 74).
8.3 Registering the Sunny Multigate in Sunny Portal
If you want to use the Webconnect function and monitor your PV system in Sunny Portal, you must
register the Sunny Multigate in Sunny Portal.
Requirements:
☐ The PV system must be commissioned (see Section 7 "Commissioning the PV System", page 42
).
☐ The Sunny Multigate must be connected to a router or modem with Internet access and must
be integrated in the local network. If the router or the modem does not support DHCP, or if
DHCP is deactivated, you can use the SMA Connection Assist to integrate the Sunny Multigate
into your network (see www.SMA-Solar.com).
☐ All UDP ports > 1024 on the router or modem must be open for outgoing connections. If there
is a firewall installed on the router or modem, you might have to adjust the firewall rules.
