EVBox Iqon, Installation And Commissioning Manual, Page: 29 / 54

4.1.8. Using Wi-Fi
Iqon is equipped with a multi-radio module. The wireless module includes dual-mode Bluetooth v4.0
(BR/EDR and low energy) and dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4 and 5 GHz bands). For Wi-Fi connectivity, the
device supports Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11 (a/b/g/n).
Notes on Wi-Fi security:
• Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2), also known as WPA-Personal or 802.11i, is the most common
security setting for Wi-Fi networks. WPA2 has replaced WPA.
• It is not possible to have WPA with AES/CCMP (Advanced Encryption Standard/Counter and CBC-
MAC Protocol) encryption or WPA2 with TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol).
• WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) and TKIP are not supported as they are considered unsecure. WEP
is now deprecated in the 802.11i specification. Open networks are supported (i.e. networks with
no password). However, it is not advised to use open networks for connecting Iqon.
• Enterprise security is the common name for all methods that use 802.1X to authenticate with a
backend RADIUS server. Enterprise security is not supported by Iqon.
Some tips when configuring your Wi-Fi router and access point:
• Do not set the option to hide your network because a hidden network will not broadcast to Iqon.
• Make sure that your router is not limiting connections to certain MAC addresses.
• Set the Wi-Fi security to WPA/WPA2, also known as WPA Mixed Mode. This mode allows Iqon to
connect with WPA TKIP-level encryption, and lets other devices use WPA2 Personal (AES)
encryption.
• Make sure you set a strong Wi-Fi password. A minimum of eight characters are required in a
password.
• Make sure that the a/b/g/n modes under the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies are active. Iqon will
choose the fastest available mode for its operation. 5 GHz is faster, but has a shorter range. 2.4
GHz is better suited for a longer range. The installer must examine the signal strength of both
networks during Wi-Fi setup on Iqon.
4.1.9. Route power supply cables
The appropriate wire gage of the power supply cable depends on the power rating and distance
between the power supply cabinet and the charging station. The voltage drop must not exceed 5% (it
is advisable to have a maximum allowable voltage drop of 3%). The maximum wire gage that can be
fitted is 16 mm
2
(AWG 6).
Route the power supply cables to the position where the charging station will be installed. Make sure
of the following:
• There must be enough cable for it to extend at least 500 mm (20 in) above the cable connection
point of the charging station.
• The bend radius must not be exceeded.
The cable can enter from below, from the sides and from the back.
