4. Overview over the Dashboard
The Configuration Interface is a web-based user interface that comes bundled with the Charge Controller. We enable Manufacturers to align the Dashboard theme to their branding.
4.1. Common things you can do in the Dashboard
Here are some things you as a Manufacturer and Operator can do using the Dashboard:
- Configure Master-Slave setups on double Charging Stations
- Enable/disable various software functions
- Configure Backend connections
- Set up Load Management
- And much more
5. Legacy Dashboard versus Modern Dashboard
The Charge Controller currently ships with a Legacy and Configuration Interface v2.0. One of the first recommended steps is to set the default Dashboard to v2.0.
When referring to the Dashboard, we refer to the Dashboard v2.0 unless otherwise specified.
Some Manufacturer options are being ported over to v2.0. In the meantime, you'll have to switch to the Legacy Dashboard to perform some configurations.
