In Field Commissioning#

It may sometimes be desirable to update a charger’s provisioned settings. The various supported commissioning methods are explained below.

Commissioning Wi-Fi AP Credentials Using the Wi-Fi Captive Portal#

It is possible to commission the charger’s Wi-Fi AP credentials (SSID and password) by utilizing the Wi-Fi module’s built-in captive portal.

Note: This method can only be used if the charger is provisioned to use Wi-Fi.

Instructions#

Bringing up the Charger’s Wi-Fi Access Point#

  • Ensure the charger is disconnected from power

  • Take note of the charger’s current rotary switch position (e.g. take a photo)

  • Set the charger’s current rotary switch to position 0

  • Connect the charger to power (you will see LED blinking white)

  • Wait for 30 seconds to allow the charger finish initializing itself

  • Hold any NFC card against the charger for around 6 seconds

  • Scan for Wi-Fi APs on your phone/computer until a Wi-Fi AP with SSID equal to the charger’s serial number appears

Acces the Wi-Fi Module’s Captive Portal#

  • Connect your phone/computer to the Wi-Fi AP hosted by the charger

  • Open a web browser and go to: 192.168.88.1/connect

  • Enter the new SSID & password for your AP

  • Click the Submit button

  • Wait for 30 seconds to allow the charger to reconfigure itself and connect to the new Wi-Fi AP

Finalising commissioning#

  • Ensure the charger has connected to the new Wi-Fi AP

  • Disconnected the charger from power

  • Set the current rotary switch to its original position (refer to e.g. the photo you took earlier)

  • Connect the charger to power
