Integration of Mennekes ACU charging station into the Eponet portal

These instructions are step 3 for connecting a Mennekes AC charging station to the Eponet portal.  

 Step 1 can be found at this link: Basic instructions for integrating charging stations 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 First, connect to the ACU, which is located inside the charging station, using a cable. 

 After logging in, set up the charging station as shown in the following images. 

 

 

 wss://ocpp.eponet.io/1.6J/FA61/ 

 

 Then save the settings and restart the charging station. Under "Info" you can see whether the charging station has successfully established a connection to the Eponet backend. 

 

 This should bring the charging station online on the Eponet portal. 

 Note: 

 If the connection cannot be established, you can only use "ws": 

 ws://ocpp.eponet.io/1.6J/FA61/ 

 The reason for this is that the controllers only support TLS 1.0 because an older operating system is installed that cannot be updated via a firmware update. If a secure "wss" connection is required, this can only be implemented on site using a special Mennekes update (software update 2.15 including update to TLS 1.2). 

 Checklist: 

 

 

 Software checked / latest version? 

 

 

 Internet configured / online? 

 

 

 OCPP server: Eponet link set up and charging station online on the Eponet portal? 

 

 

 

 Now continue with step 4.
