NOTE: The inverter normally only sends data to the VCOM portal once a day (approx. 11:00 p.m.).

    If the IP address is not known, you can also call up the web interface using the serial number (http: // [SERIENNUMMER])

  2. Enter your login information.

    Factory setting:
    Username: pvserver
    Password: pvwr  

  3. Enter the identifier "P202L" in the "Portal Code" field and confirm your entry by clicking the Apply button.



  4. Enter the words "go online" in the "Portal Code" field.


    Confirm your entry by clicking the Apply button.
    This will start a test transmission. If your inverter has already recorded yield data, these will be transferred to the VCOM portal within the next five minutes. Switch back to the inverter's start page (Info) and close the Internet browser.
The setup of your inverter is now complete.
