Introduction

To use the XDI Inverter Ethernet Interface Card, you must have the following equipment:

A compatible model of inverter

CAT5/CAT5e patch cable if you want to connect over the network

Computer with Ethernet installed

The Ethernet interface is usually installed in the inverter at the factory. Your local distributor or service center can also install the interface, especially for use in a previously-purchased inverter already on site. The Ethernet interface card will be configured with default settings (Table 4- 1).
