OK, so you need a PC, an internet connection, a router, download and install
software, network PC to router, plug in CC, connect PC to the controller, then
you can change parameters. Got it…..still say hassle.
I can tell you have made up your mind about them. But to work with the
facts:
a) you don't need an internet connection.
b) you don't need a router.
c) you don't need a network PC to router.
You do need:
a) an ethernet cable that you plug into your laptop and into the TS-MPPT-60.
b) the MSView software from their website. One software for their whole
product line. It is natively windows software, however it runs just fine
under Wine on my Linux computers and I suspect the Macintosh has
something similar.
There is no part of the Morningstar product line that requires, or even
uses the Internet.
