The Gateway Connect enables a hassle free setup of any charging infrastructure. This guide will take you through the physical installation of the Gateway Connect. To get started you will first need to decide on a setup type i.e. either Self Contained Network or Existing Building Local Area Network. The instructions below will cover both setup types.
If you are using a FLEXeCHARGE SIM card no configuration is neccessary before the install.
When using your own SIM provider please make sure:
- You have PIN, Super PIN and PUK ready (in case the SIM gets locked)
- No Sim_Lock is setup for this SIM.
Ensure no internet connectivity is present in the network the gateway is connected to.
¶ Requirements for Starting Up the Gateway
