SSH access
1. Intro
Sometimes you'd like more control over your Charge Controller, or you'd like to automate parts of your End-of-Line procedure, or perform advanced operations. That's where the SSH interface comes into play.
Potential for irreversible damage
Performing actions through SSH comes with its own risks. Only have trained personel perform SSH operations.
2. Requirements
- Connect your computer to the Charge Controller through USB (CONFIG USB port) or LAN
3. SSH default credentials
| user | password | Info |
|---|---|---|
| charge | orange_zone | |
| root | orange_zone | You won't be able to SSH into the Charge Controller if it has been Eichrecht-locked |
4. Establishing a SSH connection
- Open a terminal that supports the SSH protocol
- SSH into the Charge Controller by running the following command:
ssh charge@<YOUR CHARGE CONTROLLER'S IP ADDRESS>
- Enter the password
You should now be logged in per SSH.
