    • 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

Step 2: Once you have access to the web interface of the charger, you can login with the following credentials:

Note: After logging into the interface, you should immediately change the standard password of the charger to your own unique password.

Step 5: Check in the Dashboard submenu if the charger is successfully connected to the E-Flux by Road backend.

If you are the installer of the charging station, go to Step 6. If you are the owner of the charging station, go to step 7.
