The IP address of the Envoy is 169.254.120.1.
Understanding and Accessing the Envoy's Web Interface
The Envoy, an essential device for monitoring solar energy production, utilizes a specific local IP address for direct access to its administration and configuration settings. This allows users to manage the device, including its Wi-Fi settings, without needing an active internet connection.
This particular IP address, 169.254.120.1, belongs to the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) range (169.254.0.0/16). Devices automatically assign themselves an IP address from this range when they cannot obtain one from a DHCP server. This self-assigned address facilitates direct communication between devices on a local network segment, making it ideal for local configuration and troubleshooting of the Envoy.
To access the Envoy's web interface, follow these steps:
- Establish a Direct Connection: Connect your laptop or computer directly to the Envoy using an Ethernet cable. This creates a local network link between your device and the Envoy.
- Open a Web Browser: Launch any standard web browser on your computer.
- Enter the IP Address: In the browser's address bar, type 169.254.120.1 and press Enter.
- Access Administration Page: The Envoy's administration page will load, providing access to various settings and monitoring data.
This method provides a reliable way to interact with the Envoy's core functions, ensuring effective management of your solar energy system's connectivity and performance.
