FAQ

Q: Why is setting a static IP address important?
A: Setting a static IP address ensures that all chargers can reliably connect to the LinkRay device without any IP conflicts, providing stable operation.

Q: How do I connect a charger to the LinkRay device?
A: Download the Autel Charge -EV Charging app, connect to the charger via Bluetooth by scanning the provided QR codes for easy setup.

Physical Setup

Connect the power and ethernet cables

In the wiring diagram there is also Modbus connections to a mid-meter RS485A & RS485B, this is only applicable on relevant installs

Initial Startup

LED Patterns:

solid green – starting up
Blinking green – normal operation

solid red – Fault

The LinkRay device will follow this procedure given no faults occur:

It will take about 2 minutes to boot and start up – LED will be ON (If the LED is still UNBLINKING after this, it is most likely updating to the most recent software version – the time this takes varies as devices with older software versions need to update multiple times)

Then it will be operating normally – LED will be FLASHING green

Remote Access

The LinkRay device should automatically start once provided power and connection to the internet, it can now be connected to remotely

Log onto our online remote access tool: https://www.remote.versinetic.com with your supplied email and password

Log In I LinkRay User Interface

Select the LinkRay name to connect. This will take you through to the LinkRay User Interface

LINKRAY USER INTERFACE
Default User: Assembler Default Password: 2WW%[4%9nU`HWhGe

Configure the Site Power Limits

No CSMS URL (or default: ws://:80) means LinkRay is running without payment backend

Network Settings

Set a Static IP address & ideally also reserve the LinkRay IP in the routers DHCP lease
(If you leave this option as dynamic, an IP address is automatically assigned)

NB: after swapping between DHCP & Static, the LinkRay will need to be rebooted

Why is this important?
All chargers need to be configured to point to the LinkRay. The IP address must stay at a fixed IP for LinkRay to function

Charger Configuration [Part 1]

You will need to copy this or write it down to enter it into a charger later, it will be referred to as CSMS URL or Server URL or

It should be in the format of: ws://aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:8887 OR wss://aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:8886 (where each section of numbers can be 1, 2, or 3 long)

ws indicates a web socket (like http) – more likely to work (better for initial setup)
wss indicates secure web sockets (like https) – more secure (more advanced)

The Subsequent 3 pages all cover the same thing: connecting a charger to the LinkRay device. They are from 3 different chargers and are only examples, your charger may differ in the steps themselves, but the principle is the same

Charger Configuration [Part 2 – Example 1: AUTEL]

Download the “Autel Charge -EV Charging”
and connect to the charger via Bluetooth (done easily by scanning the QR code on the charger and then the QR code with the manual)

Select “Charger”
Scroll down and select “OCPP Server”
Select Custom

Type in the Server URL
Connect

harger Configuration [Part – Example 2: ABB

Using the ABB TerraConfig App log onto the charger using Bluetooth. You maybe required to enter the user PIN at this point.

Log onto the charger using Bluetooth

The default server will be ABB, click to update it
Enable the external server slider
Select “Add and configure custom server”

Enter IP address of LinkRay device

Charger Configuration [Part 2 – Example 3: EOI

Charger Configuration [Part – Example 4: ALFEN

The MyEve mobile app is NOT a valid way to set up an ALFEN charger as it does not allow for custom CSMS URL’s, instead you MUST install the ACE Service installer, and contact ALFEN support for details to log in. Once logged in then you can add chargers with the code found with the charger.

add the charger and select it
log in using the credentials given
Select the EV charging symbol

select “Network Profile 1”
Copy the drop downs as seen, but enter your own CSMS URL

Charger Configuration [Part 3]

Charger Configuration [part 4]

Select the ‘Charger’ tab and enter a ‘Friendly Name’ to aid identifying devices

Select if the charger is ‘Single Phase’ or ‘Three Phase’
Select the physical phase connections, i.e. L1-L1/L2-L2/L3-L3
Optional: Chargers can be grouped with limits, per group (if required)

Click on SAVE

Enable & Add Any RFID Tags (Optional) + TEST

Enable:
If required turn on a whitelist for RFID authorisation

Add tags by:
- presenting them to a configured charger (manually tap the RFID card onto the charger). Then selecting it from the “RFIDS rejected” using the tick box
- OR uploading a CSV file
- OR manually using the [+] button
Test:
Navigate to the ‘Info’ tab, the system is ready to be tested
