Configuration Requirements

Follow the steps:

Step 1: Insert the SIM card you received into the SIM slot of the controller (see picture below)

Step 2: Connect the laptop to the charger with a micro-USB data cable via the still free port on the front of the controller.

Step 3: Open a web browser and enter the following IP address in the URL bar: http://192.168.123.123:81

Step 4: A login window will appear. Login with the username operator. The password is yellow_zone. We recommend changing this password!

Change the language setting at the top right of the browser by selecting the preferred language.

Step 5: Click on network and enter the following information under Access Point Name (APN):

  • Road:

    • When using a white Road SIM card or another connection method: m2m.services

    • When using a purple Road SIM card: road.io

All other data will be filled in automatically and you can leave it as is.

Step 6: Click on save

Step 7: Click on backend and enter the following data:

  • Connection type = GSM

Step 8: Change the OCPP ChargeBoxIdentity to the EVSE-id provided by Road

This is the number under the QR code (f.e. NL*EFL*EV*7378707), you need to copy this number in full.

Step 9: Change the Websock-SET JSON OCPP URL of the backend to:

  • Road:

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

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

Leave the rest of the settings as they are.

Step 10: Click save and reboot.

The charging station is now connected to the Road platform!
