SolaX Pocket WiFi Set-Up

Step 1:  

Plug in the Wi-Fi dongle into the Wi-Fi port at the bottom of your inverter. Go to your PC or  Mac device and open the Wi-Fi settings. Connect to the network named SolaX ######. Once connected, access your web browser, this could be Google Chrome, Firefox, Internet  Explorer etc. In the URL bar at the top, type the IP address 5.8.8.8 and press enter. 

Step 2: 

A box will pop up asking for a username and password, type ‘admin’ for both. The next  screen will appear, click the ‘DHCP’ tab. In the box titled ‘SSID’ click the blue ‘Find AP’  button, a list of Wi-Fi networks will display, you will need to select your local home Wi-Fi  network. 

Step 3: 

Your local network should now display in the ‘SSID’ box. You should also see a number  appear in the ‘IP Address’ box, if you do not see this then the connection has not been  successful. A possible reason for this is that you are connected to the 5GHz version of your  network. Click ‘Find AP’ again and select your local network that is not the 5GHz version and then click ‘Save’. Check the IP address box again and the number should display. If this  still have not been corrected, contact your local SolaX office for further advice. The  Australian phone number for SolaX is 1300 476 529. 

Step 4: 

Once your local network is showing in the ‘SSID’ box and the IP address number is showing,  type in your Wi-Fi password into the box labelled ‘key’. Please note, if your home Wi-Fi  network has any special characters or spaces in it, they will be replaced by %20 by the  system. You will need to manually add the spaces and special characters in. Once complete,  click the ‘Save’ button. 

Step 5:  

Access the website ‘www.solaxcloud.com’ and click the orange ‘Sign up’ button. Enter in  your information into the relevant fields. The registration number will be the last few  numbers at the end of the SolaX Wi-Fi network name, e.g., ‘SolaX_#####’. Now select  ‘Next’. 

Step 6: 

The next page will be titled ‘Add Site’, enter information into the relevant boxes. The map  should auto generate to your location, if it does not then you can click and drag the map to the  correct location. Now select the ‘Complete’ button, a notification box should come up titled  ‘Add Site Successfully!’. 

Step 7: 

Go back and access the log in page. Log in to your account with the username and password  you previously set up. A landing page will display with the summary data of your inverter. The inverter may take 5-10 minutes to start showing activity so please wait. If you have more  than one inverter, click on the ‘plus’ symbol at the right-hand side of the page. Enter in the 

registration number of this inverter into the field for your second device. Click the ‘Save’  button. You should now be able to see both inverters displayed. You have now completed  your SolaX Pocket WiFi Set-Up!
