This article will talk you through how to onboard a Hydra Echo (Untethered) charger to the Clenergy EV back office.
Connect your laptop to the chargepoint Ethernet port via a RJ45/Ethernet cable and power up the unit.
Ensure the Ethernet port on your laptop is configured to the following IP address: 192.168.1.XXX (XXX being any number between 1 and 255 with the exception of 253). (If you need further help with configuring IP addresses, please see our article here).
Open a web browser and enter the following IP address into the search bar: 192.168.1.253. Then, enter the Username and Password supplied with the charger documentation and select Login.
Once logged in, select the Configuration screen from the menu on the left-hand-side.
Select the uppermost field in the Value Property section of the Configuration screen (displays NumberOfConnectors by default). Select CsmsWebsocketUrl from the drop-down menu and enter the following URL in to the Value field: wss://clenergy.online:8081/ Select Get to save and proceed.
If using a 4g/SIM network connection select SimCardAPN from the drop-down menu in the uppermost field (same as previous step) and enter the relevant details from the information highlighted below depending on your SIM supplier, then select Get. Repeat this step for the SimCardUsername and SimCardPassword settings; again using the details specified below. Please note: If using a Clenergy EV-supplied SIM card for the network connection please refer to the details below for the relevant SIM manufacturer and enter the APNdetails into the appropriate field when required: Conexa SIM APN: eapn1.net KPN SIM APN: wlapn.com Password/Username (for both suppliers): clenergy In the event a 3rd party SIM card is being used, refer to the supplier or manufacturer for the correct details.
If connecting to a Wi-Fi or Ethernet network, scroll to the relevant fields as displayed in the Value Property section and enter the necessary information into the Value field; selecting GET once each field is completed. Please note: The details required will vary from installation to installation but a typical Wi-Fi network would only require the NetworkWifiSsid (network name) and NetworkWifiPassword fields configured.
Select the Information screen from the left-hand menu and review the relevant fields in the information that is presented to ensure the configurations have held.
