4.1 Bluetooth System
4.1.1 Determining a Free NetID
All devices must be set to the same NetID so that the SMA Bluetooth devices in a system can
communicate with each other. Systems with SMA Bluetooth operating in close proximity to one
another are distinguished by their individual NetID.
To make sure that you do not set a NetID which is already in use by another Bluetooth system in the
vicinity, you need to determine a free NetID prior to commissioning your Bluetooth system.
Once you have determined a free NetID for your Bluetooth system and set this NetID for the devices,
you can create a new system in Sunny Explorer (see Section 4.1.2, page 14).
If you have not yet determined a free NetID for your Bluetooth system, you will need to do this first.
Determining a free NetID with a Laptop and Sunny Explorer
Requirement:
☐ The SMA Bluetooth devices of your system must be switched off.
Procedure:
1. Switch off any available SMA Bluetooth devices (see SMA Bluetooth device manuals).
2. Position the laptop near a Bluetooth device in the system.
3. Start Bluetooth on your laptop.
4. Start Sunny Explorer.
☑ The system assistant opens.
5. Select Enter a new system in the system assistant.
6. Enter the desired name for the system in the field System name. This name can be freely
selected and will be used as the file name for the system file.
7. To configure a different directory for saving the system file, click on the button [...] in the field
Directory.
There is no need to determine a free NetID for Bluetooth systems with Sunny Explorer
and one single inverter.
You may leave the default NetID set to 1 in your inverter if your Bluetooth system consists of the
following products:
• one inverter
• up to two computers with Bluetooth and Sunny Explorer
If you are using additional SMA Bluetooth devices, e.g. an SMA Bluetooth Repeater, you must
determine a free NetID.
