Outcome & prerequisites

By the end of this guide, you will know which environment, endpoint, and security settings to use so a charge station can successfully connect to GreenFlux.

Before you start, make sure:

The charge station is already created in EV Portal with the exact same Charge Station ID (OCPP ID) as configured on the charger
You know whether connectivity will be via LAN/Wi‑Fi or SIM/APN

Environment	Purpose	(User Access) to Front-end (EvPortal)	Configurations to connect charger to the back-end
ACCeptance	Customer should use ACC to perform tests and experiences before deploying in Production	https://evportal-a.greenflux.com/	Check section below "GreenFlux Endpoints"
PRODuction	PROD should be used to connect chargers that will operate under real life conditions	https://evportal.greenflux.com/

There are several options that influence the type of configuration settings that need to be defined in the charge station, in order to ensure a smooth connection/commissioning with GreenFlux platform. The following variables/settings need to be assessed:

Which type of OCPP protocol version to choose? 1.6 JSON or 2.0.1. This is part of charge station configurations.
Which type of connection to choose? Secure vs Insecure. This is part of charge station configurations.
Which APN and communication plan to use, when applicable? This is defined by the Telecom provider, and then configured in the charge station
What is the endpoint/URL format accepted by the charger?
Which type of endpoint/URL to choose? Public vs Private. This is determined by GreenFlux, as defined below.
Other configuration settings (e.g. websocket ping interval, etc)

Note: ****For configurations and settings related with external vendors (e.g. manufacturers, TelCo), check their documentation or support to get the full details.
