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.
