Step 1: In order to make changes to the configuration of the charging station, the web-based configuration interface must be accessed. The web interface can be accessed via USB or Ethernet:
USB:
Connect a USB cable (USB-A to micro-USB) from your PC to the controller of the charger.
Make sure to plug the micro USB connector of the cable into the corresponding port on the controller (marked with CONFIG).
Open your browser and enter the following address: http://192.168.123.123/operator
Ethernet:
Connect an ethernet cable from your PC to the controller of the charger.
Configure your PC to an IP address in the same range as the charger:
IP address: 192.168.124.100
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Open your browser and enter the following address: http://192.168.124.123/operator
Step 2: Once you have access to the web interface of the charger, you can login with the following credentials:
Username: operator
Password: yellow_zone
Note: After logging into the interface, you should immediately change the standard password of the charger to your own unique password.
Step 3: Go to the Network submenu to establish a network connection.
Automatic (DHCP): the IP address is automatically assigned to the charging point by the DHCP server in the network.
Static: The IP address of the charging point can be assigned statically.
Step 4: Navigate to the Backend submenu to setup the backend connection. Enter the following value to connect the charger to the Road backend:
OCPP ChargeBoxIdentity: enter the unique serial number of the charger
OCPP Mode: OCPP-J 1.6
WebSockets JSON OCPP URL of the Backend:
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>
Note: When using a purple Road SIM card the APN name should be changed to: road.io. When using the white Road SIM card or another SIM card the APN name should be m2m.services.
Step 5: Check in the Dashboard submenu if the charger is successfully connected to the Road backend.
