2.1.1 OCPPInit()

This API initiates the OCPP process by establishing a WebSocket or HTTPS connection between the charging station and the central server. The initialization function will set up the necessary network communication and ensure the station is authenticated before it can send or receive operational OCPP messages. Once initialized, the function prepares the charging station to handle incoming OCPP commands, such as authorization requests, charging session management, error reporting and firmware updates, ensuring the station is fully operational and ready for interaction with the central management system.

Next, the charging station is brought online using the BootNotification message sent to the central system. Once the connection is established, the system starts the periodic "Heartbeat" messages to maintain the connection and report the station's active status. The API section details the APIs that can be used to achieve these tasks.
