5 LCS-Tool
The inverters and the Inverter Manager must be
commissioned via the local commissioning and service tool
(LCS-Tool). Commissioning is required before the inverters
are connected to the utility grid and start to feed-in power.
It is recommended to use the latest version of the LCS-Tool.
The LCS-Tool is available in the download area at
www.SMA-Solar.com.
The hardware requirements for the LCS-Tool are:
TM
• PC with Windows
• 1 GB HDD
• 2 GB RAM
The LCS-Tool must be installed on a local PC drive. The PC
must be connected to the LAN 1 port of the Inverter
Manager via a router (DHCP recommended).

INFORMATION
The LAN 1 port of the Inverter Manager must have
an IP address assigned by a DHCP server that is
connected to the LAN 1 port.
An IP address can be manually assigned to the
Inverter Manager.
It is important that the computer (on which the
LCS-Tool runs) is connected to the same IP subnet as
the Inverter Manager.
The Inverter Manager may not be assigned an IP
from the system network range 192.168.4.0/24.
The LAN 2 port is only intended for inverters and
battery storage systems.
5.1 Commissioning
1. Start up the LCS-Tool. The tool shows a list of all
identified Inverter Managers. It can take several
minutes until the LCS-Tool has identified all Inverter
Managers.
2. The screen now shows a list of all Inverter Managers
(see figure 9). To start the assistant, click on the Inverter
Manager to be configured. By clicking on the Inverter
Manager, the inverters found by the Inverter Manager
are displayed. Inverters that have not been
commissioned (no grid code assigned) are presented
with a blue square together with their software version.
