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 USB configuration interface (CONFIG) emulates a Remote Network Driver Interface Specification
(RNDIS) network when it is connected to a Windows, Linux or Mac computer. For Windows 10 and higher,
Linux and Mac operating systems, this virtual network is automatically detected. No driver is required.
On a Windows host device with a different Windows operating system the driver for the RNDIS network
adapter must be manually selected:
• Open the device manager on the control panel.
• Right click the "RNDIS/Ethernet Gadget" menu item located at "Other devices" and select "Update
driver software".
• Select the option "Browse my computer for driver software".
• Then click on the option "Select from a list of device drivers on my computer".
• Select the category "Network adapters" from the list.
• In the window that appears, select the manufacturer "Microsoft Corporation" and the network
adapter "Remote NDIS Compatible Device". The device driver is then installed and the system rec-
ognises the charge controller as a network adapter.
The web interface for configuration can be accessed with an ordinary browser. 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 con-
nected 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.
Each parameter is adequately described on the respective web interface tab. For further information on the
parameters, refer to the
State, Operator
and
Manufacturer
tabs.
The
State
tab of the charging system control interface can be accessed via the URL http://192.168.123.123. It
only provides status information.
Besides displaying status information, parameters of the
Operator
and Manufacturer tab can be set:
