The NetID serves to distinguish PV plants with SMA Bluetooth in close proximity of each another. If another plant with SMA Bluetooth is located within 500 m of your plant, you will have to detect a free NetID. This way you will prevent setting a NetID for your plant that is already set for by another plant. - Page 12 • SMA Bluetooth Repeater • SMA Bluetooth Repeater Outdoor • SMA Power Injector with Bluetooth 2 to 9 and A to F Bluetooth is switched on.
