8.1 Information on Sunny WebBox Internet Access
If you use a proxy server for the Internet connection, you must make proxy settings in the Sunny WebBox
(see Section 8.2 "Making Proxy Settings" (page 36)).
If you would like to make the Sunny WebBox available via the Internet to allow, for example, direct
access to the Sunny WebBox via Sunny Portal, you must configure port forwarding in your router.
For this purpose, it is sometimes necessary to adjust the network ports for the Sunny WebBox
(see Section 8.3 "Setting the HTTP Port" (page 37) and Section 8.4 "Setting the NAT Port" (page 37)).
8.2 Making Proxy Settings
If there is a proxy server in your network, you must make proxy settings in the Sunny WebBox.
The proxy settings of the Sunny WebBox are required for connection to the Sunny Portal and for
firmware updates to the Sunny WebBox or the devices in your PV
plant.

1. Select the Sunny WebBox in the plant tree and select "Settings" in the device menu.

6. In the "Password" field, enter the password for the proxy server.
7. Confirm the password entered in the "Confirm the password" field.

Changing extended network settings
Do not change any network settings in the network devices if you are not clear about the
effects of the change. Changes to values could lead to the existing network not functioning
at all or only working partially. If you have any questions, contact your network
administrator.
