System Requirements


  • SMA recommends a permanent internet connection (flat rate) and the use of a router that supports the dynamic assignment of IP addresses (DHCP ‒ dynamic host configuration protocol).

  • All network components used must support the IGMP protocol, minimum version 3 (IGMPv3).

  • If Ethernet network switches are used in the system, make sure that they do not perform IGMP snooping and cause deactivation.

  • Using media couplers such as powerline adaptors can cause transmission problems. These can usually be activated for multicast operation via a firmware update from the manufacturer.
