How to connect a Hager Witty Share

Connect a Hager Witty Share charger to vaylens using the Hager web interface

Please refer to the manufacturer's manual for information on connecting the charger to Ethernet and inserting the vaylens SIM card.

In addition to the backend configuration, we recommend updating the firmware to the latest version. Please contact the vendor for the new firmware.

The connection to the vaylens backend is configured via the Hager web interface. You can access this configuration interface via the web browser using the IP address 192.168.0.100/24.

Please refer to the username and password from the charger's documents supplied and use them on the login page.

Then, navigate to Configuration > Config Type: protocol to choose the communication protocol for the communication between your charger and vaylens.

Select a "Type": OCPP

Go to Configuration > OCPP to establish a connection between your charger and vaylens.

Enter the following vaylens backend URL in "OCPP Server":

Enter a "ChargePoint ID": You can freely choose this identifier for your charger unless you have already onboarded the charger to the vaylens portal.
Select the "Authentication type": Basic
Enter the "OCPP login": The OCPP login is equivalent to the ChargePoint ID you entered before.
Enter an "OCPP password": You can freely choose your password unless you have already onboarded the charger to the vaylens portal.
Set a "Fallback Value" which indicates the maximum current for charging in case the connection to the OCPP Central System is lost.

If you have already onboarded your charger to the vaylens portal, make sure to use the same ChargePoint ID/OCPP login and OCPP password.

If you haven't already onboarded your charger to the vaylens portal, make sure to remember the ChargePoint ID/OCPP login and OCPP password as these are required in the onboarding process.

At vaylens, the ChargePoint ID/OCPP login is referred to as ChargeBox ID and the OCPP password is referred to as OCPP Basic Password.
