Connect via Bluetooth®
- Bluetooth connection with eSetup is possible for 2 hours after the first time the charging station is powered on.
- After these 2 hours, use an activation badge to reactivate the Bluetooth communication for 10 minutes :
- In factory settings, any badge is considered as an activation badge
- After an initial configuration, only an administrator badge configured via eSetup can activate Bluetooth communication.
- Bluetooth communication remains active for 10 minutes after closing a configuration session via eSetup.
- At the first connection, you will be asked to create a password to secure the next connection to the charging station.
- At the next connections this password will be necessary. The number of attempts to enter the password is limited to 3.
Configure the modem

Commissioning of a charging stations cluster

Before starting configuration, it is recommended to switch off all charging stations of the cluster.
There should not be other devices than EVlink Pro AC in the cluster.
