g EV Charging Station User Manual & Installation Instructions 4.4 Recommended Network Designs for RFID Authentication It is strongly recommended using one of below network settings, as those are providing necessary security levels for the Charging Station System network and other parts of the network. 4.4.1 Option 1: Stand-alone Network Configuration In this design the charging station network and its associated host system are not connected to the customer network at all.
g EV Charging Station User Manual & Installation Instructions EVSE IP On initial power up the EVSE IP address will default to 192.168.2.2 This must be changed to an appropriate address based on the network configuration. Failure to change the IP address setting will impact the ability to bring up subsequent charging stations on the network due to IP address collisions. Action required ! Assign IP addresses to the charging stations beginning with 192.168.2.22.
g EV Charging Station User Manual & Installation Instructions Note: In the case of any modification of the “Require authentication for charging” status, or after a reset or replacement of the controller, the Station ID must be modified to a new ID not previously used on this network to avoid transaction data to be lost. Host IP address. By default, the IP address is set to 192.168.2.19. Unless there is a collision with another setup, it is recommended to keep this host address.
g EV Charging Station User Manual & Installation Instructions Note: The Station ID information is how the EV100 application distinguishes between stations in the same network. Make sure you assign different values to each EVSE. Note: In the case of any modification of the “Require authentication for charging” status, or after a reset or replacement of the controller, the Station ID must be modified to a new ID not previously used on this network to avoid transaction data to be lost.

g EV Charging Station User Manual & Installation Instructions Note: A change of the Host PC IP address while the listener service is running requires a restart of the listener service or a reboot of the host PC. For detail instructions reach out to User Manual document included on CD 1. 2. Launch the EV100 Application Start the EV100 Application and log in. Default login is “admin” and the password “admin”. You should now see the stations appear in the list with a green status after at most 5 min.
g EV Charging Station User Manual & Installation Instructions To activate charging, hold the RFID card in front of the reader for 2-3 seconds. Upon successful authentication of that card, the reader LED will turn green after another small delay of 2-3 seconds. Note: For authentication to work, keep the host PC connected and up and running at all times. 4.5 Setup without RFID Authentication Some EVSE models are not equipped with an RFID reader and are not meant to be set up in a network environment.
g EV Charging Station User Manual & Installation Instructions 4.6 Reset Controller to Factory Default Should you have inadvertently changed to a non-default IP setting and cannot remember the IP settings, or simply reverse to default configuration for other reasons, you can reset the controller to the factory default values by following these steps. Note: It is recommended to keep track of the different IP settings for each EVSE by recording them on the form found on the final page of this document.
g EV Charging Station User Manual & Installation Instructions Note: In the case of a network installation with RFID authentication, after a reset of the controller, the Station ID must be modified to a new ID not previously used on this network to avoid transaction data to be lost. 4.7 Trouble Shooting Guide For assistance with EVSE troubleshooting, please refer to the following website: www.geindustrial.
