Datasheet

MPN: Shine Link LANbox

No longer available

The Shine Link Lanbox allows you to monitor your solar panels without having to run a LAN cable and without using wifi.

Place the Shine Link Lanbox next to the router and connect it with a short LAN bell. The lanbox communicates with the inverter via the supplied radio dongle, which you place under the inverter. The radio connection established can connect over up to 200 metres in the free field, and 20 metres with 2 walls between them. Because of the connection to the router, you can monitor your set via growatt’s server on the computer, or via the shinephone app on the tablet or smartphone.

Couple up to 6 inverters to the lanbox, by equipping each additional inverter with a Growatt RF stick!

For more information, take a look at the Datasheet, or visit growatt‘s website.

Especially for Growatt’s older S series inverters, with an RS232 port.

Which Growatt dongle fits my inverter?

Growatt has two families of monitoring dongles. Everything with an X or X2 in the name (ShineWiFi-X, Wilan-X2, ShineLAN-X, Shine Link-X/X2, Shine RF Stick X2, Shine GPRS-X) plugs into the USB port. The ShineWiFi-S, Shine Link LANbox and the old ShineLAN plug into the RS232 port. The ShineWiFi-F is only for the off-grid SPF series.

APX / ARK / AXE home battery, BMS – no dongle needed The battery talks via the inverter; the dongle goes on the inverter

Not sure? Look at the underside of the inverter: a round socket with a screw cap (you twist the dongle to lock it) = USB = X dongle. A rectangular 9-pin connector behind a plate marked “RS-232” (the dongle is fixed with two screws) = ShineWiFi-S. If the type label of your SPH says “UP”, it is always an X dongle.
