Testing connectivity (advanced)
Once you've configured Modbus TCP on your Huawei inverter, it's essential to verify that the connection is working correctly. You can follow our testing guide to confirm the connection. For Huawei inverters, note that the default Modbus port is 6607, which differs from the standard Modbus port. The Unit ID is typically set to 1. If you've enabled the restricted access mode, make sure you're testing from an allowed IP address.
Access Issues
If experiencing access problems:
- Check IP restrictions if enabled
- Verify only one client is connecting
- Confirm network settings are correct
