Communication between a Controller and one or more Extenders via LAN
The communication module of each Wallbox eM4 Twin includes a LAN interface.
The connection is made via one Ethernet cable per wallbox, which is routed into the wallbox via the supply
cable area.
To form a charging group, the Controller wallbox is wired to one or more Extender wallboxes on a local router,
which assigns each wallbox its own IP address.
The wiring of the Wallbox eM4 Twin via LAN is described in the sections "Inserting the power and data cables"
on page 26 and "Data cable connections" on page 33.
Communication via LAN must be set up in the
ABL Configuration App
(see page 38 onwards).

via their LAN interfaces.
Each wallbox must be assigned its own IP address
via the router, either automatically via DHCP or
manually.
Communication between a Controller and one or more Extenders via WLAN
Every Wallbox eM4 Twin has an integrated WLAN module.
Direct communication with the
ABL Configuration App
installed on a smartphone/tablet (iOS, iPadOS, Android)
can be established via the WLAN module.
To form a charging group, the Controller wallbox can be connected wirelessly with one or more Extender wallbox-
es to a local WLAN router, which then assigns each wallbox its own IP address.
Communication via WLAN must be set up in the
ABL Configuration App
(see page 38 onwards).
