FAQ #
- Q. When should Offline Mode be used?
– It is used when operating the HS71007 model independently without an internet connection.
– In Offline Mode, charging can only be controlled via the app or an RFID card, and remote monitoring and OTA updates are not available. - Q. The Wi-Fi password is correct, but the connection fails.
1) Check whether the router supports the 2.4GHz band.
2) Ensure the correct SSID has been selected.
3) Try restarting the router.
4) Reduce the distance between the charger and the router. - Q. I selected LAN, but the settings are not saved.
– Ensure the LAN cable is physically connected to the charger. After connecting the cable, press the “Apply and Next” button to save the settings. - Q. The charger restarts after applying network settings. Is this normal?
– Yes, depending on the firmware version, the charger may restart to apply the network configuration. The restart typically takes about 1–2 minutes. - Q. Where can I find the Connection Service URL?
– The default OCPP server URL is set automatically. If using a custom server, you can obtain the URL from your service provider and enter it manually. - Q. Can I change previously configured network settings?
