OCPP

Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) is a standard for communication between a Charging Station and their CSMS (Charging Station Management System, the central backend). The Teleport can act as an OCPP Local Controller. The charging stations then connect to the Teleport and the Teleport connects to the CSMS.

Any charging station that supports OCPP 1.6J or OCPP 2.0.1 with SmartCharging is supported. Often that is mentioned in the documentation of the charging station. When certified, the model is also listed at OCPP certified companies.

Note

Many brands have slight peculiarities on their OCPP integration. If we don’t have experience with your brand yet it might take us some time to get this up and running.

Required information:

1. The OCPP identity (string) of each charging station and preferably their static local IP addresses
2. The URL of the CSMS (central backend)

Required configuration in each charging station:

1. The URL of the Teleport in each charging station
2. In case TLS encryption between charging station and Teleport is desired: the public root certificate of the Teleport in each charging station (connection between Teleport and CSMS is by default TLS encrypted).
