Check 03 Network

 Network configurations

Important: if the e-mobility project is located at a site where an ICT company is responsible for the network, it is essential that this company is involved from the start of the planning process.

The infrastructure requires a stable internet and network connection. If the network is managed by an external company, the integration of e-mobility must be discussed and defined with the external company at an early stage of the planning phase.

Requirements:

VLAN requirement
We strongly recommend a separate network area, e.g. a VLAN, for e-mobility products. All e-mobility products should be located in this area. If the products are not in an isolated VLAN, i.e. if they are mixed with other products, flawless load management cannot be guaranteed due to latency or interference. Eponet does not offer support if these requirements have not been implemented. Any additional costs incurred for troubleshooting may be billed on a time and material basis.

The following products belong in the e-mobility VLAN:

• Charging stations
• Eponet EdgeServer for load management (DHCP)
• Energy meters in accordance with Eponet approval (fixed IP address mandatory)

All network-relevant data must be available in
writing. We recommend a flat data package with at least 10/5 Mbits.

Please note:
If you have more than 4 charging stations and Eponet load management, the data package must be larger than 10/5 Mbits!
