ABB - Step 2: Configure Inverter to connect to home Wi‑Fi

Optionally, temporarily connect your phone to your home Wi‑Fi to simplify this step.
ABB - Step 3: Enter Address Details
Fill in the required address information (e.g., location or system ID).
ABB - Step 4: Adjust Security Settings
Check the 'No Password' prompt (if applicable) to bypass additional authentication steps.
ABB - Step 5: Set Admin Password
Confirm or update the administrator credentials:

If the system status page appears, the Wi‑Fi connection is successfully established. You can now monitor real‑time inverter performance and solar data.
ABB - Key Notes
Ensure the inverter is within range of your router’s 2.4GHz signal. Avoid dual-band (2.4GHz/5GHz) SSID names.
