Configuration Requirements

  • Road Sim card, EVSE ID, configuration manual for the installer and registration manual for the owner of the charging station

  • ABL Configuration app

  • Mobile phone

Follow the steps

Step 1: Insert the sim card in the 4G-dongle that was delivered with the charging station.

Step 2: Download the ABL configuration app from the App Store or Google Play store.

Step 3: Open the app, click on Start a new configuration and confirm that you are a certified electrician.

Step 4: Follow the steps in the configuration app and make a connection with the eM4 by scanning the QR code that’s shown on the commissioning label of the charger.

Step 5: After adding the eM4 to the configuration app, press Next to create a password for the charger.

Note: The charger will reboot automatically after you’ve created a password. Once the charger has restarted you will get the option to connect the charger to the local WiFi network for easier access to the app in the future.

Step 6: Choose one of the provided network connection methods (LAN/LTE), add more chargers to the same network if necessary and configure the technical settings of the charger(s).


Step 7: Click on Use template and select Road in the available backend presets.


Step 8: Change the server URL/APN Name to one of the following:

  • When using a white Road SIM card or another connection method URL: ws://ocpp.road.io/<provider-slug> APN: m2m.services

  • When using a purple Road SIM card URL: ws://ocpp-internal.road.io/<provider-slug> APN: road.io

The charging station is now connected to the Road platform!
