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:
• 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).
• Access address for Apple and Linux systems: SMA[serial number].local (e.g.
SMA0123456789.local)
• Access address for Windows and Android systems: https://SMA[serial number] (e.g.
https://SMA0123456789)
Requirements:
☐ The product must be commissioned.
☐ The product must be integrated into the local network. Tip: There are various methods of
integrating the product into the local network with the aid of the installation assistant.
☐ The end device must be in the same local network as the product.
☐ An end device (e.g. computer, tablet PC or smartphone) must be available.
☐ JavaScript must be enabled in the web browser of the end device.
☐ The respective latest version of one of the following web browsers must be installed: Chrome,

exporting files.
