1 SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR FRONIUS DATAMANAGER
The easiest way to update the Fronius Datamanager is to use the Datamanager’s web interface. To update
your software access the web interface follow the steps below:
/ Activate the WiFi hotspot**
This can be done on the Datamanager card via the inverter’s display (applies to Galvo, Primo, Symo and Eco
inverter).
Go to the ‘SETUP’ menu – ‘WiFi Access Point’ – ‘Activate WiFi AP?’
(Diagram 1: inv erter dis pla y**)
** Datamanager V2.0 only
For the Datamanager Box V2 just move the IP switch on the Box to position ‘A’ to activate the WiFi hotspot.
(Diagram 2: Datama nag er Box V2 )
/ Or make a wired LAN connection
To connect a version 1 Datamanager or as an alternative to the WiFi hotspot** a normal LAN cable (cat 5 or 6)
can be used to connect the Ethernet connection of a laptop and the Datamanager.
/ Open the Datamanager Web Interface
Connect your computer/tablet/smart phone to the Datamanager’s WiFi hotspot (WiFi access point SSID
Fronius_xxx.xxxx). Open a web browser and go directly to http://192.168.250.181 (for WiFi**) or
http://datamanager/.
For a direct wired LAN connection use http://169.254.0.180.
Alternatively you can use Fronius SolarWeb App for tablet or smart phone and go to the ‘Settings’ on the smart
phone app and select ‘PV Inverter Homepage’ (Apple devices) or ‘Your System Monitoring’ (Android
devices).
(If there are multiple Datamanager in your LAN select the correct one according to the ID shown on the inverter
display under the name of the inverters WiFi access point SSID).
