Operating Instructions

Introduction

The Ethernet interface card allows you to monitor/configure settings
using a Web page. It also adds email functionality to the XDI. The unit
will automatically send an email when it is powered up or when there is a
fault condition.

This section describes how the Web page and email works.

Network Connection

This configuration is used when you want to communicate to one or more
XDI inverters over a network. In order to use network connection the
network settings on the XDI’s Ethernet interface card must be configured
properly. Chapter 2 describes how to configure the network settings for
the first time.

Setting up to communicate using network connection:

1. Wire up the rack mount assembly as stated in the XDI manual.

2. Connect the XDI to a network.

3. Turn on the inverter.

4. Wait for an email that will be sent to the configured “Email Alert

Address”.

5. Run a Web browser program on the computer.

6. In the address box of your browser, type in the configured IP address

sent in the email.

Important:

Each XDI Ethernet on the network will allow only one Web

browser to access its Web page at any one time.
