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.
INFORMATION
The firmware update might cause communication
problems between Inverter Manager and LCS-Tool.
• Perform the firmware update exactly as
described in this document(see
Section 5.2.5, page 31).
It is recommended to use the latest version of the
LCS-Tool:
• From firmware version 2.00.044 for PV systems
• From firmware version 2.01.003 for battery-storage
systems
The hardware requirements for the LCS-Tool are:
TM
• PC with Windows
• 1 GB HDD

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 1 port is reserved for the PC with the
LCS-Tool, for the router and for the power analyzer.
The LAN 2 port is intended for inverters and
battery-storage systems. The PC may be connected to
LAN port 2 with the LSC-Tool in exceptional cases
only (e.g. during servicing). To do this, the DHCP
protocol must be activated in the communication
settings of the PC.
