Charging Station provide a way to modify their Settings before the usage. For example, Phoenix Chargers provide manual in which OCPP connection URL is set as in picture below:

OCPP Configuration Phoenix Charger Settings

As you can see, the inputs provide you the way to set (in order):

  1. WS(HTTP) or WSS(HTTPS) WebSocket connection
  2. IP or Domain
  3. Port Number
  4. Endpoint

So the connection URL for this Charging Station would be ws://172.16.112.9:8080/ocpp/ but you can modify it to suit your needs.

Every Charge Point work as client and the Central Station is the Server. So, every Charge Point need to know the endpoint of Server.

Which version of OCPP you want use or server use, I recommend 1.6 Json
