You have several options to connect the product to a smart device. The procedure can be different depending on the devices. If the procedures described do not apply to your device, establish the direct connection via Wi-Fi as described in the manual of your device.

The following connection options ar available:

  • Connection with WPS

  • Connection with Wi-Fi network search

Requirements:

  • The product must be commissioned.

  • A smart device (e.g. smartphone, tablet or laptop) must be available.

  • The respective latest version of one of the following web browsers must be installed on the smart device: Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari.

  • JavaScript must be enabled in the web browser of the smart device.

  • The installer's SMA Grid Guard code must be available to change network-relevant settings after the first 10 hours of feed-in operation, or after completing the installation assistant. You can request the SMA Grid Guard code via the Online Service Center.

  1. SSID in WLAN: SMA[serial number] (e.g. SMA0123456789)
  2. Device-specific WLAN password: see WPA2-PSK on the type label of the product or the rear side of the manual included in delivery
  3. Standard access address for a direct connection via WLAN outside of a local network: https://smalogin.net or 192.168.12.3

Importing and exporting files with smart devices having an iOS operating system is not possible

For technical reasons, importing and exporting files (e.g., importing an inverter configuration, saving the current inverter configuration or exporting events and parameters) is not possible with smart devices having an iOS operating system.

  1. Use a smart device that does not have an iOS operating system for importing and exporting files.

Connection with WPS

Requirement:

  • The smart device must have a WPS function.

Procedure:

  1. Enable the WPS function on the inverter. To do this, tap twice in succession on the enclosure lid of the DC-Connection Unit next to the LEDs.
  2. The blue LED flashes quickly for approx. two minutes. The WPS function is active during this time.
  3. Enable the WPS function on your smart device.
  4. Open the web browser of your smart end device and enter https://smalogin.net in the address bar.

Connection with Wi-Fi network search

  1. Search for Wi-Fi networks with your smart device.
  2. Select the SSID of the product SMA[serial number] in the list with the detected Wi-Fi networks.
  3. Open the web browser of your smart end device and enter https://smalogin.net in the address bar.
  4. The login page of the user interface is displayed.
  5. If the login page of the user interface does not open, enter the IP address 192.168.12.3 or, if your smart end device supports mDNS services, SMA[serial number].local or https://SMA[serial number] in the address bar of the web browser.
