7.3.3 Establishing a Connection via Ethernet in the local
network
New IP address for connecting with a local network
If the inverter is connected to a local network via a network cable (e.g. via a router), the
inverter will receive a new IP address. Depending on the type of configuration, the new IP
address will be assigned automatically by the DHCP server (router) or manually by you.
Upon completion of the configuration, the inverter is only reachable via this new IP address or
the alternative addresses.
Access addresses of the inverter:
• Generally applicable access address, e.g. for android products: IP address manually
assigned or assigned by the DHCP server (router) (identification via
SMAConnectionAssist, network scanner software or router manual).
• Alternative access address for Apple products: SMA[serial number].local (e.g.
SMA2130019815.local)
• Alternative access address for certain Windows products: SMA[serial number] (e.g.
SMA2130019815)
