Sometimes, two or more rectifiers are deployed on a site for operational reasons. Therefore, Galooli allows the integration of two or more rectifiers into a single Galooli Elara gateway. As the Elara gateway only has one ethernet port, a ethernet switch can be used to accomplish the mission.

Elara Configuration
Open the Power Center.
For the first rectifier, in the “Configuration” tab click on “Add SNMP ETH Device”. Choose the first rectifier's name and model. Ensure that all parameters are correct especially the “Device IP” and apply the changes.
...
Click on “Write Configuration” and “Reset”.
Ensure that the Elara gateway is connected to the computer.
Select the "Configuration" tab, click on "Group:_Device", and then double click one of the rows appearing under "Group:_Device". Set the "Network Gateway" and the "Elara IP" in the Elara configuration window so that they will be in the same range as the two rectifiers. Apply the changes.
As a result, both rectifiers and the Elara must be within the same range.Click on “Write Configuration” and “Reset”.

Rectifier

Configuration
Rectifier 1: Login to rectifier 1, ensure the device IP and gate way are set to 192.168.100.100 and 192.168.100.1
Rectifier 2: Login to rectifier 2, ensure the device IP and gateway are set to 192.168.100.102 and 192.168.100.1
Once both steps are all of the steps have been completed, the rectifiers should be able to communicate with Elara.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The idea behind this is that of a typical LAN with multiple devices connected in the same network segment. Once the IP of all connected devices are in the same segment, they can exchange information through the switch.
For other model of rectifiers, adopting the same procedure works all the time but pay attention the IP address ranges utilized in the systemthe Elara gateway.
