# Setup - Inverter/Data Logger Configuration
In order for Grott to intercept the data you must re-configure your ShineLink box or dongle to ship data to Grott rather than directly to the Growatt servers.

The instructions on this site describe the process for a ShineLan Box, if anyone can provide information on how to do the same for the Wifi dongle I'll happily update the documentation.

## ShineLan re-configuration
1. You need to know the IP address of your ShineLink/Wifi Dongle, this will vary depending on your home network setup and isn't something I can help you with.

After this your ShineLink/Wifi Dongle will start pushing data to Grott (and optionally more frequently than default also).

## ShineWiFi-X/S Re-configuration

To reconfigure your ShineWiFi-X/S datalogger, you need to use the ShinePhone app and have your datalogger already added to your plant. (This guide and photos are based on Android.)

1. **Start the ShinePhone App:**
Go to `Me` and select `Datalogger Configuration`.

At this point you should now have your inverter sending data to Grott which should also forward the data on to the Growatt Servers and also ready to forward to MQTT
