Note: This guide was written for firmware P0134B0125v0.190313. Other versions are untested.
Below are laid out the steps to convert connector numbers on EVBox to the OCPP standard. via EV Portal
- Identify the Charge Station ID and connector numbers that you want to convert
- Change the following configuration items for the Charge Station:
- evb_SerialAsConnectorId: FALSE (default setting here is TRUE)
- Click Save, Confirm, Yes
- Do a Get configuration
- Hard Reset Charge Station
- Verify the new values of the configuration items:
- evb_ConnectorListOrder: verify that the connector numbering is changed from the previous EVBox specific numbering to 1, 2, etc. and in case of labeling on the charger, that the connector numbering is in line with the labels.
- Always use connector 1 for charger box which contains the modem (Master)
- Example below:If this is not yet right, repeat the steps above.
- Verify whether the connectors in the Connector Groups (EVSE’s) are Available. If not, do a Hard Reset, and/or select Enable Connector Group from the drop-down menu for each Connector Group
By following these steps, connectors with the wrong number should automatically configure to start in the correct order 1, 2, etc.
If the configuration option "evb_SerialAsConnectorId" is already set as False but the CDRs are still generated under the wrong connector ID, it's most likely because the modem was reset and the ID was incremented automatically (it's an EvBox bug on some firmware versions).
To fix it, simply modify the config option "evb_ConnectorListOrder" from, for example, 3.1922137 to 1.1922137, save the change, and do a GetConfiguration. This will fix the rest of the connector fields automatically.
