5 Envoy Local Interface
Connection to the Enphase Enlighten™ web-based monitoring and analysis website
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 and the data that is available through the local
connection.
1. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable supplied with the Envoy to the Envoy port
labeled “Ethernet”.
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ45 network 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 window
of the Envoy (192.194.2.141 in this example).
If you fail to make a connection at this point, you can try to manually configure
your subnet to 169.254.120.2, Subnet Mask 255.255.0.0 If this does not correct
the problem, call Enphase Customer Support at 877-797-4743.
Home Screen
Once the browser has successfully connected with the Envoy, the following screen is
displayed in the browser. This home screen provides a system overview and shows
the current status of the inverters that have been identified by this Envoy. From this
screen, you can access other screens in the interface.
