- | 1. You will have to configure the IP address of the Fronius to be in the same subnet as the IP address of the CCGX. To do this, first have a look at the IP configuration your CCGX is using on that network. The IP configuration can be reviewed in Settings --> Ethernet. IP address and Subnet Mask, are the settings of importance. If the LAN IP address and Subnet Mask of the CCGX is not configured yet, you will have to set it first. As an example, the IP address on the CCGX could be: 192.168.10.1 and the Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0. Configuring the Fronius to the same subnet means setting a manual IP address to: 192.168.10.2 and the same Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0 on the Fronius. It is important to say, that every device on your LAN has to have a unique (different) address and so the last segment (.1/.2) in this example has to differ on every device on the same LAN. The highest value, that can be set for this segment is 254. The subnet is described by the first 3 segments in this case and so they have to be the same. Configuring multiple devices with exactly the same IP addresses (same last segment) will lead to network errors and should be avoided at all events. Use different IP subnets for the WiFi and wired LAN interface. The IP address ranges used on each interface should differ in the third segment. | ||
