General information for the network administrator

Prerequisites

If you are integrating Fronius system monitoring into an existing network, you must adapt
the address settings in line with the network.

For example: Network address space = 192.168.1.x, subnet mask = 255.255.255.0

-

An IP address of between 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.254 must be assigned to Froni-
us system monitoring.

-

The selected IP address must not be in use on the network already.

-

The subnet mask must match that of the existing network (e.g. 255.255.255.0).

If you want Fronius system monitoring to send service messages or to transmit data to Fro-
nius Solar.web, you must enter a gateway address and a DNS server address. Fronius
system monitoring uses the gateway address for the purpose of establishing an Internet
connection. An example of a suitable gateway address would be the IP address of the DSL
router.

IMPORTANT!
-

Fronius system monitoring must never be assigned the same IP address as the PC/
laptop itself!

-

Fronius system monitoring is not capable of connecting to the Internet on its own. In
the case of a DSL connection, a router has to establish the Internet connection.

General firewall
settings

So that the various functions offered by Fronius system monitoring can be performed, you
must make the following firewall settings:

Service messages are sent via Fronius Solar.web.

Configure the firewall so that data can be sent from the Fronius system monitoring IP ad-
dress to port 49049/UDP of “fdmp.solarweb.com”.

DSL routers usually allow data to be sent to the Internet anyway and so do not normally
have to be configured for this purpose.

To enable access to the web interface of Fronius system monitoring from outside the LAN:
-

Configure the network router so that requests on port 80/TCP are forwarded to Fronius
system monitoring.

NOTE! Knowledge of networking systems is required in order to configure Froni-
us system monitoring for the network.
