Final Notes

Congratulations! At this point the controller is successfully connected to your network. Follow-

ing are a few notes about routinely connecting to your TriStar MPPT on your home or business

network.

You can now connect to the TriStar MPPT using a web browser, MSView, or any other soft-•

ware that supports the TriStar MPPT from inside your home network.

Windows PC computers can always access the TriStar MPPT using its NETBIOS name •

(tsmpptXXXXXXXX).

Apple Mac computers may not support the use of NETBIOS names by default. •

The IP address assigned by DHCP may change periodically and is not a reliable way to con-•

nect to your controller. However, if you manually assigned network settings then the IP ad-

dress will never change.

MSView can connect to the TriStar MPPT using the IP address or NETBIOS name. We rec-•

ommend using the NETBIOS name since it never changes. If you save the workspace, its

better to use the NETBIOS name so that MSView always reconnects properly.

At this point, the TriStar MPPT cannot be accessed outside of your home or business •

network. See Section III: Conﬁ gure Remote Access for details on how to connect to the

TriStar MPPT from remote locations.
