Configuring WLAN
1. Goal
- Connect your Charge Controller to your Backend/network through WLAN
2. Requirements
Make sure that
- You have access to a WLAN network
- The Charge Controllers are within range of the WLAN network
2.1. Does my Controller support WLAN?
Check the capabilities table to find out if your Controller variant provides this feature:Capabilities table

If you can't see configuration options in the Config UI mentioned here, the guide doesn't apply to your Charge Controller. Use the table above for reference.
3. Configuration

Apply the following configuration:
- At the bottom of the Config UI, click , then click to apply the changes
3.1. DHCP-based router configuration
If your router assigns the IP addresses automatically, choose Auto (DHCP Client)
for Mode for network configuration
.
Whether the DHCP client hostname
field has to filled out, depends on your network. Contact your network administrator.
Have your router give out static IP addresses when using DHCP if this option is available.
4. Master-Slave considerations
On a Master-Slave setup, only the Master requires WLAN. The WLAN configuration on the Slave will be ignored. All OCPP communication is automatically forwarded from the Slave to the Master.
