Envoy Installation and Operation

Normal Operation

Once the Envoy completes a scan, it begins or resumes normal operation. At this point, the indicators in

the LCD screen show current values for your system. This is the home screen:

It may be a few minutes before energy data appears or increases on the home screen after starting up

the Envoy or initiating a scan. Information shown during normal operation includes:

 Local IP address, for example: 192.168.2.140 (your actual local IP address will be different).

The Envoy will attempt to get a dynamically assigned DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration

Protocol) IP address during power up sequence. The Envoy uses the DHCP IP address as a

path to the Internet. If 169.254.120.1 is shown, the Envoy has not yet acquired a dynamic IP.

Refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 29, if this address continues to display.

 Web connection indication: +Web. The web status indicates whether the Envoy is connected

to Enlighten.

 Indication of the present power-production, in watts: (n)W (where n is a number)

 Indication of the life time kilowatt hours reported to this Envoy: (n)kWh (where n is a number)

 Indication of the number of online microinverters producing power and reporting in to the

Envoy: (n) (where n is a number). The number of microinverters displayed will be zero at

night.

After the Envoy establishes an IP address and the web connection, the Envoy periodically contacts an

NTP (Network Time Protocol) server so that it can maintain an accurate local time.
