If you do not use the Sunny WebBox Assistant for initial commissioning of the Sunny WebBox, you
need to make the network settings manually on the computer. To do so, first configure your computer
to comply with the Sunny WebBox default network range. The settings are described for the following
operating systems:
• Windows Vista/Windows 7
• Windows XP/Windows 2000
If you are using a different operating system, refer to the manual of your operating system to find out
how to set the computer IP address to 192.168.0.100 and the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.

– If Windows displays several LAN connections, there are probably several network
connections installed on the computer. Ensure that you select the network connection that the
computer is using to connect to the Sunny WebBox. If necessary, refer to the computer
manual.
