(LCS tool). Commissioning is required before the STP 60
inverters are connected to the utility grid and start to feed-in
power.
It is recommended to use the latest version of the LCS tool.
The LCS tool is available in the download area at
www.SMA-Solar.com.
The hardware requirements for the LCS tool are:
TM
• PC with Windows
• 1 GB HDD
• 2 GB RAM
The LCS tool must be installed on a local PC drive. The PC
must be connected to the LAN 1 port of the Inverter
Manager via a router (DHCP recommended).

INFORMATION
The LAN 1 port of the Inverter Manager must have
an IP address assigned by a DHCP server that is
connected to the LAN 1 port.
An IP address can be manually assigned to the
Inverter Manager.
It is important that the computer (on which the LCS
tool runs) is connected to the same IP subnet as the
Inverter Manager.
The Inverter Manager may not be assigned an IP
from the system network range 192.168.4.0/24.
The LAN 2 port is only intended for STP 60 inverters.
5.1 Commissioning
1. Start up the LCS tool. The tool shows a list of all
identified Inverter Managers. It can take several
minutes until the LCS tool has identified all Inverter
Managers.
2. The screen now shows a list of all Inverter Managers
(see figure 5.2). To start the assistant, click on the
Inverter Manager to be configured. By clicking on the
Inverter Manager, the inverters found by the Inverter
Manager are displayed. Inverters that have not been
commissioned (no grid code assigned) are presented
with a blue square together with their software version.
