•
Connected using a network cable (patch cable) and Ethernet router or switch.
•
Installation steps
•
The inverter has to be assigned a static IP address.
•
Switch off the inverters and Solar-Log™.
•

•
Connect the inverters to each other (RJ45).
Connect inverters to the Solar-Log™
The wiring is done using a
•
network cable (patch cable/crossover cable) and the
•
Ethernet router or switch.
Connect the inverters to each other
The inverters are connected together using
the RJ45 interface and, if needed, a router or switch.
Follow the connection setup according to the inverter’s instructions.
Assigning IP addresses
•
A static IP address has to be assigned to the inverter via the display.
•
Please select an IP address with the same class C subnet as the Solar-Log™.
For example: The Solar-Log™ has the IP address 192.168.178.49.
The inverter in this case has to have a free IP address in the same range (from 192.168.178.1 to
192.168.178.254).
•
Procedure: Start according to the inverter’s instructions.
Notes on inverter configuration
• The inverter's Ethernet interface has to be activated�
• Only the TCP port "12345" is supported�
Note for feed-in management
The inverter itself has to be configured with MaxTalk2 (SolarMax's software) and set to
"Remote mode" to be able to use reactive power management. Please refer to the inverter
instructions for more information on this topic.
