Follow the steps
Step 1: Use the Installation manual of the Prism Solar to safely complete the installation of the charger.
Step 2: Connect your configuration device to the internal WiFi of the charger. You will find the charger in the available WiFi networks on your PC, smartphone or tablet. The format of the network will be Prism-xxxxx, where xxxxx stands for a number.
Step 3: Log into the charger using the credentials shown on the label of the charger.
Step 4: Once you are successfully connected to the intenal WiFi, enter the address http://192.168.8.1/benvenuto in your web browser and log in using the installer credentials shown on the label of the charger.
Note: A configuration page will be opened once you’re logged into the interface, where you will have to follow the on-screen directions.
Step 5: Configure the right network settings in the interface to connect the charger to the internet:
Connection to a wired network (Ethernet)
By connecting the Prism via Ethernet to a DHCP-enabled network, you will immediately be able to access the Internet and no further network configuration is required. The second page of the interface shows the IP address assigned to Prism by the router:
Note: We recommend that you assign the charger a fixed IP (from your router or Prism settings) so you can reach the interface more comfortably over the local network, using the new IP address instead of the default 192.168.8.1.
