5. CONNECTIVITY
5.1 Backoffice management systems
Alfen charging stations are intelligent, and can
communicate with a range of online third party
management systems or our own, Alfen ICU Connect
. All
of these provide the opportunity to track users’ energy
consumption, control charging remotely and simplify
charge point maintenance via remote access.
Each charging station is already configured to directly
connect with the chosen management system at point
of manufacture, with internet connection established via
a mobile network or an UTP (Ethernet) cable connection
depending on the model and/or customer preference.
Where a mobile network connection is available, and was
specified, the charge point is usually supplied with the
SIM card installed and will connect automatically once the
product is powered on. If the SIM card holder (item.
7 on
page 3, optional with S-line) does not contain a SIM card ,
it will either be included in the package or can be back-
ordered. If in doubt, please contact the reseller or provider.
5.2 Setting up a connection
5.2.1 Wireless connection
To connect wirelessly, the charging station must be
equipped with a SIM card suitable for a mobile network
connection
. The correct settings must also be chosen to
connect with the desired management system.
There are several (shortcuts) in the Service Installer to
support this. These allow easy selection of the desired
management system and related settings. Always check
the signal strength after installation, using the Service
Installer.
REMARK
Whether and which management system a charging station
connects to is arranged by the company reselling the
product. This inclusdes the services offered via this system,
which are outside the scope of delivery of Alfen.
Where Alfen ICU Connect online management system was
specified when ordering, the Eve Single will already have a
SIM card installed and will connect automatically when the
product is powered on. If you chose another management
system when ordering, you might need to install the SIM
card yourself.
WARNING
The SIM cardholder needs to be handled with the utmost
care. To access the SIM cardholder, disconnect the transpa-
rent subframe (3 x Torx T20 screw). To install a card, access
the SIM cardholder from the left side. This will provide you
with more space. Be careful not to crush any cables while
replacing the subframe.
5.2.2 UTP (Ethernet) connection
Which cable do you need?
A CAT5 UTP cable (max. 100 metres) is the minimum
required to connect the charging station to the internet.
This cable is suitable for speeds up to 100Mbps.
Installation
1. Connect the UTP cable to your router.
2. Make sure the charging station is turned off
(de-energised) at the local installation.
3. Feed the UTP cable in through one of the grommets
on the rear of the casing. Then, fix the connector
onto the cable and connect to the Ethernet port on
the charging station
(refer to "Product overview" for location).
Use the right RJ45 connector for a solid core or flex
core cable.
A connector suitable for both types is also sufficient.
Be careful not to damage the core(s).
4. Connect the charging station as described in
"Assembly and Connecting". and then turn on the
power supply on the local installation.
5. In order for your charging station to communicate with
ICU Connect via an UTP Ethernet connection, it may be
necessary to change your network settings if these
are additionally secured. The necessary information to
obtain access through your network is:
ws://icuconnect.nl:9090
wss://icuconnect.nl:9089 (TLS)
wss://icuconnect.nl:9088 (TLS + client certificates)
5.3 Managing settings
If your charging station is connected to a backoffice
management system, it is possible to manage settings re-
motely even without using the Service Installer application.
Alfen charging stations offer a myriad of configuration
possibilities, for everything from basic settings to advanced
smart charge settings. These fall broadly into the following
categories:
• General information, such as the present charging
current and temperature
• General settings for the charging station like language,
intensity of the status indications and load capacity
• Switching between RFID and Plug & Charge and
• Settings for transaction messages
• Smart charge settings
• Connectivity
• Smart Charging Network
• Overview of activated options and possibility to change
(license code)
