Requirements
A phone or laptop with wifi
The charger's serial number
Your wifi network name and password
Connect your charger
Set the OCPP details
Power up the charger.
Press the Reset button embedded in the lid of the unit.
Wait until the network LED flashes green and purple.
On your phone or laptop, join the wifi hotspot EPC_AP_XXXX.
Press the sign-in notification, or browse to https://4.3.2.1 (ignore the browser warning).
In CPID, enter the charger's serial number.
In Base URL, enter ws://proxy.plugchoice.com/v1.
Fill in the Electrical Configuration fields below.
Press Save and Close. The charger reboots.
Important: double-check the CPID and Base URL before saving. Changing them later requires a factory reset.
Connect to wifi
Press Reset again. The LED alternates amber and white.
Rejoin the hotspot and open the configuration page.
Enter your wifi details and press Save Network.
Press Save and Close.
The charger now connects to Plugchoice. This can take a minute.
Registering your charger in Plugchoice
Add the charger using the chargepoint ID. For EPC Smart, this is the CPID you entered, normally the serial number (case sensitive).
Done! The charger should come online.
Troubleshooting
Did you set everything up correctly, but the charger still remains "Pre-registered"?
The chargepoint ID in Plugchoice must exactly match the CPID.
An amber network LED means the charger has no network connection yet.
Check your wifi details and signal strength at the charger.
Typo in the CPID or Base URL? A factory reset is required to change them.
