9. Connect to Enlighten
The Envoy-S requires a connection to the Internet for reporting to Enlighten. You can provide this
connection through an existing broadband router, other Wi-Fi access point, or by using the Enphase
Mobile Connect cellular modem.
WARNING! Risk of Equipment Damage. Do not remove power from the Envoy-S if the LEDs
are flashing green. This indicates that a software upgrade is in progress.
Connect to a broadband router using one of these methods, described in the following sections:
Method A: Integrated Wi-Fi
Method B: Enphase Mobile Connect (order CELLMODEM-02 separately)
Method C: Ethernet cable (not included, installer must provide). This method requires that you
use the ferrite bead included with the Envoy-S.
Method D: Power Line Communication Bridges [order EPLC-02 (EU), EPLC-03 (UK) or EPLC-04
(AU) separately]. This method requires that you use the ferrite bead included with the Envoy-S.
Method A: Integrated Wi-Fi
The Envoy-S integrated Wi-Fi operates at both 2.4GHz and 5GHz and supports several wireless security
protocols in addition to Wi-Fi WPS. These include WEP Open System, WEP Shared Key, WPA-PSK, WPA2-
PSK, WPA-EAP, and WPA2-EAP.
To use the Enphase integrated Wi-Fi, you need a wireless
router.
a. On the Envoy-S, verify that no Ethernet cable is
plugged into the RJ45 port.
b. If your router supports WPS, press and hold the WPS
button on the wireless router for a few seconds. On most routers, a WPS LED begins flashing.
c. If you are using the Installer Toolkit mobile app, tap the Network button, tap Wi-Fi, and find and
select your network. If the wireless router does not support WPS, you may be prompted to enter
a password.
If you are not using the Installer Toolkit mobile app, you can only connect using WPS. Initiate a
WPS connection by pressing and holding the AP Mode button for 5 seconds.
The Network Communications LED begins flashing green. Within three minutes the Network
Communications LED lights solid green, indicating a successful connection to the Internet and to
Enlighten. If the Network Communications LED remains off or lights solid amber, see “Internet
Connection Issues” on page 36.
Method B: Enphase Mobile Connect Modem
Order CELLMODEM-02 separately.
To install Enphase Mobile Connect:
a. Connect the antenna to the antenna connector (marked CELL) on the
modem.
b. Mount and connect the modem as described in the Enphase Mobile Connect
Installation Guide. If receiving power from the Envoy-S, the modem power LED lights.
Within three minutes the Envoy-S Network Communications LED lights solid green, indicating a
successful connection to the Internet and to Enlighten.
