Establishing a Connection via Ethernet in the local network


New IP address for connecting with a local network

If the product is connected to a local network (e.g. via a router), the product will receive a new IP address. Depending on the type of configuration, the new IP address will be assigned automatically by the DHCP server (router) or manually by you. Upon completion of the configuration, the product can only be reached via the following access addresses:

  1. Generally applicable access address: IP address manually assigned or assigned by the DHCP server (router) (identification via network scanner software or network configuration of the router).
  2. Access address for Apple and Linux systems: https://SMA[serial number].local (e.g. https://SMA0123456789.local)
  3. Access address for Windows and Android systems: https://SMA[serial number] (e.g. https://SMA0123456789)

Communication disturbances in the local network

The IP address range 192.168.12.0 to 192.168.12.255 is occupied for communication amongst SMA products and for direct access to SMA products.

Communication problems might occur if this IP address range is used in the local network.

  1. Do not use the IP address range 192.168.12.0 to 192.168.12.255 in the local network.

Procedure:

  1. Open the web browser of your smart terminal device.
