4.3.3.2 Ethernet to Serial

It is possible to connect serially to your controller/inverter using your PC’s Ethernet connection

and an Ethernet to serial converter. Although this may appear to be a local connection, it is in fact

a remote connection because the Ethernet to serial converter will be assigned an IP address.

The converter should come with software making it easy to discover or assign its IP address.

The MSView

software needs to know the converter’s IP address in order to make a connection.

Figure 31 below illustrates the proper physical connections.

device with only an RJ-11 MeterBus port.
