Conguration and testing
5.5 Testing and system boot process
After completing the conguration, the charge controller must be tested for operability. This can be done
using a vehicle simulator. The following must be checked:
•
Successful boot process (for variants with OCPP: OCPP state - IDLE)
•
If a backend connection is to be established, that this has been carried out (only for variants with OCPP:
Connection State - CONNECTED)
•
Connection to meter possible (meter conguration)
•
Plug locking and unlocking functions properly.
Error messages are shown in the "Error list" on the State tab.
The boot process starts once the charge controller is supplied with voltage (12 V). After about 30 s, the
"STATUS" LED on the charge controller front panel lights up. After a short time, the "STATUS" LED ashes
green if the boot process was successful.
5.6 Connectivity to the backend

Connection of the charge controller to the backend
Go to the Settings tab (http://192.168.123.123/operator/settings). To access this tab, enter the following user
name and password:
•
User name: operator
•
Password: yellow_zone
The following options are available under "Connection Type":
•
No backend
•
GSM (4G modem)
•
Ethernet
•
USB
•
WiFi
GSM (4G modem)
The "Access Point Name (APN)" of the mobile network to be used is required when a connection to the
backend system is made via the integrated 4G modem.
A user name ("APN Username") and password ("APN Password") may be required to authenticate the access
point.
APN information such as user name and password is provided by the selected mobile network operator. The
system should be able to establish an online connection to the backend system after 20-120 seconds. In case
of connection problems, the received signal strength (RSSI) can be checked via the State tab. If a SIM card
PIN number is required, it must be congured via the Operator tab (http://192.168.123.123/operator) of the
charging system. Otherwise, connection to the backend will not possible. With a data network connection
established, the charging system is now available.
The connection to the mobile network (and thus to the backend system) usually lasts from 6 to 48 hours.
After that, the connection may be terminated by the mobile network. The charging system detects the
disconnection and automatically reconnects. During reconnection, the "STATUS" LED on the charge
controller front panel ashes at regular intervals.
