6 Charging Point Configuration

Before initiating communication, the charging point must be configured with a specific identity and a server destination. This ensures that the OCTT can recognize and authorize the device.

Follow the steps below to configure the WebSocket URL and verify that the unique identifier matches your test environment.

If required, edit the config.json file using the vi tool located in the ocppv1.6/ folder, and perform the following updates:
