d. Once you have verified that the Envoy is running release R3.8 (or later), plug the wireless adapter
into the left USB port (looking at Envoy from the front), and wait for 10 seconds.
e. Press and hold the WPS button on the wireless router (or access point) for two seconds. On many
routers, the WPS button flashes at this point.
f. Within two minutes, return to the Envoy. Press and hold the Envoy menu button until the Envoy
Menu appears. Release the Envoy menu button when Enable Wi-Fi WPS appears on the LCD
screen.
g. Within two minutes an updated IP address appears on the Envoy LCD screen. This IP address
begins with a “W” to indicate that a wireless connection is established.
h. If the updated IP address does not appear, retry the previous steps as the connection window may
have timed out.
i. Within a minute, the Envoy LCD screen displays +Web, indicating a successful connection to
Enphase.
NOTE: The operating temperature range for the Enphase-provided wireless adapter is 0˚C to
40˚C (32˚F to104˚F).
NOTE: If the wireless router does not support WPS or you aren't using WPS for Wi-Fi setup, see
“Network Basics and Troubleshooting” on page 31.
5. Check the Internet Connection
a. Look for the “+Web” indication.
b. If it still shows “-Web” five minutes after connecting to the broadband router, see “Network Basics
and Troubleshooting” on page 31.
NOTE: Power production shows as 0W and
0kWh until the microinverters are discovered,
the Envoy has reported to Enlighten, and
monitoring begins. Power production also
shows 0W and 0kWh for about a minute
whenever the Envoy powers up.
6. Install the Modules and Microinverters
a. Install the PV modules and the microinverters as directed by the installation manuals.
b. Use the ArrayGun to scan the microinverters. For more information, go to http://enphase.com.
c. As an alternative, you can manually build the map: peel the removable serial number label from each
microinverter and affix it to the respective location on the map
