Direct Device Configurations (Solar-Log 1000)
To configure the basic network settings:
Go to the Config. menu | Basic | Network .
Here, the IP address and Subnet mask of the Solar-Log 1000 can be configured if necessary.
However, all routers with the DHCP service enabled are pre-set so that this data is entered automatically.
IP Address, Subnet Mask
The default address is to set to be automatically obtained from DHCP and can be adjusted when using a
direct PC connection or a router without the DHCP service, in order to allow access from the PC.
If necessary, please consult a network specialist to assign a suitable network address in regard to IP ad-
dress, subnet mask and gateway.
Internet access
In this section, the type of Internet access used can be configured.
None
The Solar-Log 1000 can only be accessed locally, i.e. through a direct PC connection or through a network
router without Internet access.
Network router
The Internet is accessed through an Internet router. The Internet router must be connected to the network
interface of Solar-Log 1000. This router handles all dial up access and data transfers over the Internet. A
DSL, cable modem or wireless router can be connected.
The important thing is that Internet dial up should always be possible from the Solar-Log 1000 . The Internet
router has to be turned on. If it is, ordinary messaging will no longer possible when there is a fault and the
homepage will not be correctly supplied with data.

tion. The configuration is performed later in an additional dialog box.
