Envoy Local Interface
Connection to the Enphase Enlighten web-based monitoring and analysis software requires an Internet
connection. However, if there is no Internet access at the installation site, it is still possible to
communicate directly with the Envoy using the Ethernet port and a personal computer with a web
browser. The following steps describe how to access the Envoy data through the local connection.
1. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable supplied with the Envoy to the Ethernet port on
the Envoy.
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port of the computer.
3. Open the Internet browser application on the computer.
4. In the browser address window, enter the IP address displayed in the LCD screen of
the Envoy.
NOTE: If you fail to make a connection at this point, you can manually configure your
subnet to 169.254.120.2 and subnet mask to 255.255.0.0. If this does not correct the
problem, contact Enphase Customer Support.
Once the browser has successfully connected with the Envoy, the home screen is displayed in the
browser window.
Home Screen
The home screen provides a system overview and shows the current status of the microinverters that
have been identified by this Envoy. From this screen, you can access other screens in the interface.
