In this guide, you will learn how to configure the reev software on a Hager Witty Pro charging station. The configuration can be carried out independently in just a few simple steps.
Supported Models
Hager Witty Pro
Further technical details can be found in the respective Hager installation and operating instructions.
Required Materials
reev documentation and materials
The required documents and materials should already be available to the operator / CPO (Charge Point Operator) or the appointed service provider. Here you will find the necessary onboarding material.
Laptop or notebook
A laptop or notebook is required to perform the configuration.
RJ45 network cable (Ethernet)
The network cable is used to establish a direct connection between the laptop and the charging station.
RFID card (included)
Required to activate the charging station’s Wi-Fi hotspot during initial commissioning.
Preparation
Make sure that:
the charging station is electrically installed correctly and is operational
a network connection (LAN or mobile network) is available
Step-by-Step Configuration
The following sections describe the configuration process step by step. Once all required materials from the previous section are available, the configuration can be carried out immediately.
1. Establish a connection to the charging station
Three options are available to access the web interface. Connecting via the charging station’s Wi-Fi hotspot is recommended.
Option 1: Connection via the charging station’s Wi-Fi hotspot (recommended)
Hold the supplied RFID card in front of the charging station.
Wait until the LED lights up blue – the Wi-Fi hotspot is now active.
Connect your laptop to the charging station’s Wi-Fi network.
Open a browser and navigate to:
http://hager-evcs-[YYYYYY]/Replace [YYYYYY] with the last six characters of the serial number (found on the type plate of the charging station, highlighted in red in the image below).
Example:
Serial number: GeW1E-Wrdth-Eoye2eU7Ts37
Web address: http://hager-evcs-U7Ts37/
Option 2: Direct connection via Ethernet cable
Connect the charging station directly to your laptop using an RJ45 cable.
Open the following address in your browser:
http://192.168.0.101Make sure your laptop uses an IP address in the range
192.168.0.x(e.g.192.168.0.10).
Option 3: Connection via an existing network (router)
Connect the charging station to a router using a network cable.
Determine the IP address assigned to the charging station by the router.
Open this IP address in the browser (e.g.
http://192.168.20.1).
Note: Alternatively, http://hager-evcs-[YYYYYY]/ can be used if name resolution works within the network.
2. Log in to the charging station web interface
Use the following credentials:
Username:
adminPassword: The first four characters of the serial number (case-sensitive, highlighted in green in the image above)
Example:
Serial number: GeW1E-Wrdth-Eoye2eU7Ts37
Password: GeW1
Important: The password must be changed after the first login.
3. Connect the charging station to the internet
To enable the connection to the reev backend, the charging station requires an active internet connection.
Internet connection via LAN (Ethernet)
No additional configuration required
The charging station automatically receives internet access if a DHCP server is active in the network
Internet connection via Wi-Fi
Open the “Charging Station” tab.
Click on the “Network” tile.
Enable the Wi-Fi function.
Enter the SSID and Wi-Fi password.
Save the settings.
4. Configure the reev backend (OCPP)
Once the internet connection is active, the charging station can be connected to the reev backend.
Navigate to “Access Management”.
Open the “Charge Point Operator” section.
Enter the following CPO address:
wss://ocpp.reev.comClick “Save” to apply the settings.
