Login to Charger


A) Wi-Fi Hotspot

Connect your computer’s Wi-Fi to the charger’s Wi-Fi hotspot.  The Wi-Fi hotspot name will be in the following format:  SC3-<9 digit serial number> or IC3-<9 digit serial number>.  For example SC3-1813EM001.  The Password is: <9 digit serial number>@SC3.  For example: 1813EM001@SC3


B) Ethernet Connection (If Wi-Fi Hotspot not available)

Start by disassembling the top cover (instructions in user manual) to get access to the Ethernet port. Then connect a computer (With internet access) to the charger using an Ethernet cable. 

  1. Open up a browser to http://192.168.100.1  If that does not work try http://192.168.199.1 

  2. Now you should see the login screen. To be able to configure the charge point you should enter “admin” in the user name box. The default password is “howru2RU2IC3”.

C) Charger IP Address


If neither Wi-Fi Hotspot nor Ethernet connection are working, the charger might already be connected to your home Wi-Fi network. If this is not the case, the charger will need to be power cycled and connected using Option A or B from above.

If the charger is in fact connected to your home Wi-Fi network, find its IP Address by looking up your network’s router table and finding the IP Address. After finding the charger’s IP Address, follow steps 1 and 2 from above but using the recently found IP Address instead.
