Defines the time interval in which the station notifies the users who wish to start
charging, of an upcoming reservation.
The station operator can change network settings, back office connection parametres and
station code. To change other (factory) setting, an xml file with station settings should be
downloaded, edited, and uploaded back onto the station.
The settings are saved by pressing the »Save« button in any of the configuration sections.
When editing certain data (charging station's ID number, IP address, network gateway), the
configuration interface will require a reboot of the charging station. A »Reboot« button will
appear in the top part of the interface.
6.3 Configuration of the GPRS interface
If the station is using GPRS communication for data transfer towards the control centre, a GPRS
module is installed inside the station.
GPRS module in the first station can serve as the communication gateway for other stations (in
case of clustering). In that case, the GPRS module is joined by a network switch.
To install the GPRS module, the following is needed:
• SIM card, which is inserted into the module,
• private APN with a username and password,
• UTP cable, which can be used for a direct connection to the Ethernet port of the GPRS
module or to the network switch of the charging station (port 4),
• Web browser, which is used to access the configuration interface of the station.
