The IP address and the default gateway should be set at 192.168.1.xxx segment(1≤XXX≤250 and XXX ≠200).For
example, the lP address can be set as 192.168.1.100 and the default gateway as 192.168.1.254.
1.When the configuration is complete,unplug the network cable to the Ethernet port of the computer and
plug it into the router.At the same time can restore the computer's IP address and other parameters to the
default Settings.If the user wants to restore to dynamic IP mode, please press the RELOAD button for about 4
seconds.EzLogger Pro's LED lights will flash from left to right and reset to restart.EzLogger Pro will be switched
to dynamic lP mode after restart.
2.Protocol selection
Users can choose the protocol according to their needs. The gray one is the current protocol.After the protocol
is switched,promate waits about one minute before proceeding.
Note: if the protocol is switched, the inverter device should be restarted.
4.2 System Settings
SCB2000 and inverter network, through the installation of Pormate monitoring software on the computer side
of the SCB2000 monitoring and configuration.
ProMate is a kind of software that can configure EzLoggerPro, SCB2000 etc. It can modify the network lP
address of EzLoggerPro and SCB2000, configure the number of connected inverters, time setting,RCR, DRED
function, configuration and on-site debugging.
First, the user need to install "ProMate" in the computer by downloading ProMate from lnternet
(http:/www.goodve-power.com/files/ProMate1.0.7.1PLC.rar), Please access to the website to download the
program and compet the installation.
lf the user needs to use ProMate software to configure SCB2000, it needs to be set in dynamic IP(DHCP) or static
IP according to the network connection mode.
(1)lf the user is in the dynamic IP mode, he/she only needs to connect the SCB2000 NET port to the Router LAN
port with the network cable to connect to the network, namely plug and play.
(2)lf the user has a static IP, it is necessary to switch SCB2000 to the static IP mode. That is, press the Reload key
for about 10 seconds to reset and restart SCB2000,About 10 seconds after pressing the Reload button, the
LED lights on the SCB2000 internal EzLogger Pro Panel will blink from rightto left and reset and restart.
After restart, SCB2000 will be switched to static IP mode(default lP:192.168.1.200).
Then use cables to connect SCB2000"NET" port(lf the optional fiber version is connected to the SCB2000 TP1 or
TP2 port) to the Ethernet port of the computer.at the same time, the lP address of the computer needs to be
modified.

1.When the configuration is complete, unplug the network cable to the Ethernet port of the computer and
plug it into the router.At the same time can restore the computer's lP address and other parameters to the
default Settings. lf the user wants to restore to dynamic lP mode, please press the RELOAD button for about
4 seconds. EzLogger Pro's LED lights will flash from left to right and reset to restart. EzLogger Pro will be
switched to dynamic IP mode after restart.
2.Protocol selection
Users can choose the protocol according to their needs. The gray one is the current protocol.After the
protocol is switched,promate waits about one minute before proceeding.
Note: if the protocol is switched, the inverter device should be restarted.
Connect the fiber jumper or tail fiber from the end boxes at both ends of the fiber to the ports of the gigabit
fiber switches (or the gigabit fiber interfaces of the transceiver or router at one end), Note that both ends of
the same optical fiber must be connected to the TX and RX ports of the optical fiber interfaces at both ends,
otherwise the optical fiber cannot be connected, and the single fiber module only needs one core optical
fiber jumper.
Note:when optical fiber group ring network, there must be only one root node in one ring network, and the
others are slave node devices.
lf the choice of fiber version please refer to this description
Some parameters of fiber optic switch: fiber optic switch is single-mode single-fiber,fiber interface SC,
central wavelength 1310/1550nm;The transmission distance is 20KM

5.1 fault handling
(4) In the ring network configuration ring network, only one of them needs to be configured as a ring root node.Others do not
need to be configured.Other defaults are that the ring network is from the node.
(5) IP Configuration To faclitate management, IP addresses can be modified, and each device must be within the same IP
address segment.
(6) lf one or more devices in the ring network can not work properly, please insert one set of optical fibers after replacement,
and then insert another set of optical fibers after the equipment system is activated.
Maintenance contents:
Please ensure that there is no strong EMl equipment around SCB2000.
Please ensure that no heat source is placed around SCB2000.
Check the SCB2000 wiring cable regularly for signs of looseness.Make sure the cables are firmly connected.
Note:
During system maintenance, please power off the system.Please ensure that all power supply has been disconnected
before the operation.
