Configuration Requirements
Configuration package E-Flux by Road
Contains: EVSE ID, configuration manual for the installer and registration manual for the owner of the charging station
User Manual Circontrol
Laptop equipped with a Windows operating system
UTP cable
Important: In order to connect the charge point to E-Flux, you need to use the OCPP 1.6 backend connection. To obtain that, you need a license. To get the license file, please contact CIRCONTROL Post Sales Department at [email protected], prior to installing E-Flux on the charge point.
Follow the steps:
Step 1: Download the IPSetup software
First download the IPSetup.exe and install it on your Windows computer. Then find the MAC address that is on the communications board, inside the charge point.
Step 2: Change the IP address of the charge point
Connecting a computer directly to the charge point needs to be done via a static IP address. The computer and the charge point must be in the same network and in the same range. In order to change the IP of the charge point, use IP Setup.
Enter the MAC of the device (can be found inside the charger, on the communications board).
Enter the desired IP Address.
Click on Configure.
Step 3: Login to the charge point WebUI
The Setup Webpage is opened automatically on the default web browser. If not, you can open a web browser and enter the IP address you configured in the previous step. If login credentials are required, use these credentials:
username: admin
password: 1234
Step 4: Enable DHCP
In this example, we use Ethernet connection. Navigate to the Network section and enable DHCP from the on/off toggle. This will allow the charge point to obtain an IP address automatically, when connected to the router/network switch.
Click on the Save icon in the right top corner.
Step 5: Select OCPP 1.6 integration
Navigate to the Integrations section and select OCPP 1.6 from the drop down menu.
If you are able to select OCPP 1.6, go to step 6. If you do not have OCPP 1.6 as an option, the following message will pop up:
To obtain the license file, please contact CIRCONTROL Post Sales Department at [email protected]. After the license is obtained, you can upload it using the Select File button in the integrations section.
Choose the file from your computer and upload it.
Step 6: Access the OCPP configuration
Once OCPP 1.6 option is selected, a link appears allowing access to the OCPP configuration. Click on the Link button. These tabs require a user identification:
user: admin
password: 1234
Step 7: Change host URL
After logging in to the setup page, navigate to the "Central system" section and change the Host URL to ws://ocpp.e-flux.nl/1.6/e-flux
Click on the Save icon in the upper right corner.
Step 8: Reboot the charge point
Once done, please do not forget to save the changes by clicking on the Save button in the upper right corner and then reboot with the button on the right.
If you are the installer of the charging station, go to step 9. If you are the owner of the charging station, go to step 10.
