Routers

The charging station is equipped with two preconfigured routers. Each router is connected to
a backend system.
Basic information
The router -XF3 ("Router 1") for communication with the SCB. This router is equipped ex
works with an M2M SIM card. The router establishes a connection to the Internet via this SIM
card. This SIM card is the property of the manufacturer. After the final decommissioning of
the charging station, the operator must remove the SIM card and return it to Siemens AG.
With the door open, the router is located on the right.
The router -XF4 ("Router 2") is intended for the Internet connection to the OCPP backend of
the operator and the credit card terminal. This router is located on the left side when the door
is open. The router is configured by default to connect to the Internet via Ethernet. To do this,
connect a network cable to the WAN port (-FA6) in the connection area of the charging
station.
Changing the access method to the Internet
Make sure you have all the required credentials when you change the routers' method of
accessing the internet. Then contact Siemens Support.
Changes to the router configurations can be made via the SCB. If you have selected the IP
address of the device you want to change in the "Router configuration" section, the current
configuration will be loaded first. You can then select the desired access method and the
access data can be entered. Saving the new settings will restart the device. In the case of
router 1, the connection to the SCB is interrupted briefly.
If no connection to the SCB is possible, then a local connection is allowed. You can find the
corresponding instructions depending on the access method below. Put the charging station
in maintenance mode before opening the door, if possible.
a) Router 1 (-XF3) from mobile wireless to Ethernet
Ethernet ("wired WAN") is active by default as the failover. Ensure that a SIM card is no longer
inserted in the router. Then connect a network cable to the free WAN port of the router. The
router then automatically attempts to connect to the Internet via the connected network.
This access method is not possible, however, when the charging station is operated with an
ELMS (see section 3.10. "Connection of an external load management system" (Page 51)) and
the free WAN port has been occupied by Router 1 and reconfigured.
b) Router 1 (-XF3) on consumer SIM or Router 2 (-XF4) on mobile wireless
The following steps refer to the firmware version RUT2XX_R_00.01.13.3).
1. Obtain all necessary access data from your mobile network provider (PIN, PUK, APN, etc.).
2. Ask Siemens for the router password.
3. Set the IP of your notebook to the range 10.20.17.190 ... 255.
4. Connect a notebook to the internal switch of the charging station.
5. Open the Web browser and go to
– http://10.20.17.1 for Router 1 (-XF3)
– http://10.20.17.2 for Router 2 (-XF4)
