5.1 Management systems

Alfen charging stations are intelligent, and can
communicate with a range of online third party
management systems or our own, Alfen ICU EZ. All of
these provide the opportunity to track users' energy
consumption, control charging remotely and simplify
charging station maintenance via remote access.
Each charging station is already configured to directly
connect with the chosen management system at point
of manufacture, with internet connection established via
GPRS or a UTP (Ethernet) cable connection depending
on the model and/or customer preference. Where a GPRS
connection is available, and was specified, the charging
station is usually supplied with the SIM card installed and
will connect automatically once the product is powered on.
If the SIM card holder (item.
a SIM card, it will either be included in the package or can
be back-ordered. If in doubt, please contact the reseller or
provider.

5.2 Setting up a connection

5.2.1 Wireless connection

To connect wireless, the charging station must be
equipped with a SIM card suitable for GPRS. The correct
settings must also be chosen to connect with the desired
management system.
There are several (short cuts) in the Service Installer
Application to support this. These allow easy selection
of the desired management system and related settings.
Always check the signal strength after installation, using
the Service Installer Application.
REMARK
Whether and which management system a charging station
connects to is arranged by the company reselling the
product. This inclusdes the services offered via this system,
which are outside the scope of delivery of Alfen.
Where Alfen ICU EZ online management system was
specified when ordering, the Eve Single Pro-line DE
will already have a SIM card installed and will connect
automatically when the product is powered on. If you chose
another management system when ordering, you might
need to install the SIM card yourself. Figure 9 shows the
location of the SIM card holder.

WARNING
The SIM card holder needs to be handled with the utmost
care. To access the SIM card holder, disconnect the
transparent subframe (3 x Torx T20 screw). To install a
card, access the SIM card holder from the left side. This will
provide you with more space. Be careful not to crush any
cables while replacing the subframe.

5.2.2 UTP (Ethernet) connection

Which cable do you need?
A CAT5 UTP cable (max. 100 metres) is the minimum
required to connect the charging station to the internet.
This cable is suitable for speeds up to 100Mbps.
Installation
1. Connect the UTP cable to your router.
2. Make sure the charging station is turned off
(de-energised) at the local installation.
3. Feed the UTP cable in through one of the grommets
on the rear of the casing. Then, fix the connector
onto the cable and connect to the Ethernet port on
the upper left-hand corner on the charging station
controller ( on pages 2 and 3). Use the right RJ45
5
connector for a solid core or flex core cable.
A connector suitable for both types is also sufficient.
Be careful not to damage the core(s).
4. Connect the charging station as described in paragraph
3.4 and then turn on the power supply on the local
installation.
5. In order for your charging station to communicate with
ICU EZ via an UTP Ethernet connection, it may be
necessary to change your network settings if these
are additionally secured. The necessary information to
obtain access through your network is:
- IP address ICU EZ: 93.191.128.6
- Port: 9090
- FTP port: 21
- Inbound - outbound
