Alfen | Eve Double- Configuration for ChargePilot

Connection to the charger

Local connection

Connect to the ACE Service Installer App

The ACE Service Installer uses broadcast messages to find the stations IP, thus if the laptop has an intranet connection to the charger, it will appear in the list of available chargers with their IPs. Please ensure your laptop is in the same subnet as the target charger by one of the connection ways:

1. Direct connection to the charger

   1. For the first time login, or the station has a static IP-address, connect your laptop directly with the charger (stand-alone)

   2. Change the IP-address of your laptop’s Ethernet port to the same IP range

2. Indirect connection to the charger via a DHCP server

   1. Connect your Ethernet cable to the router which is also connected to the charger and the DHCP server
