“192.168.187.1”.
2.3 Entering the interface via Wi-Fi
The laptop must be connected with the same internet network as the charging station.
The master automatically receives an IP address via the DHCP server of the router; the IP address is shown on the display of the charging station when it is (re)started. The master's DCHP server has to be deactivated.
Fill in this IP Address in the browser of the laptop.
