Configuration
The following options are available for configuring the charging system:
• Locally whereby the charge controller provides a web interface (i.e. Charge Point Control Interface)
via the USB configuration interface (CONFIG)
• USB Ethernet/WLAN interface via a USB Ethernet adapter, USB WLAN (USB 1) or via the 4G Modem
• Remotely by utilizing the ChangeConfiguration command of the OCPP protocol.

5.1.1 Local configuration of parameters
In order to locally configure the charging system via the charge controller, it is necessary to connect a micro
USB cable to a laptop, PC or tablet computer with a standard USB host interface. Once connected, the charge
controller is recognised as a USB network adapter.
i
The charge controller USB configuration interface (CONFIG) emulates a Remote Network Driver Interface
Specification (RNDIS) network when it is plugged into Windows, Linux or Mac OS computers. In a Linux
and Mac OS, this virtual network interface is automatically detected and a driver is not necessary. On a
Windows host machine, however, the driver for the RNDIS network adapter needs to be manually selected.
Details on how to do this are given in „6.1.1 USB configuration interface“ on page 31 .
The charge controller uses the local IP address 192.168.123.123 with the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 via the
configuration interface. The connected device automatically receives a corresponding IP address via the
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) after the connection has been established. The communication
with the charging system is based on this IP address.

web interface pages. Please refer to these pages for further information:
