QR Code
The front cover of the Networked Wallmount WattStation has a ¾” x ¾” Quick Res onse (QR) code
label laced under the to assembly cover, viewable through the to cover. Each QR code holds a
unique serial number in its image. The QR code serial number is stored in the EVSE’s SBC (Single
Board Com uter).
An EV driver or EVSE owner can use their IPhone and the GE WattStation a lication to scan the
QR code. Once the QR code is ca tured, the a lication will automatically connect to the GE
WattStation Connect and rovide the driver or EVSE owner with access and information for the
Networked Wallmount WattStation.
3.3 Communication Options
The WattStation has different ty es of TCP/IP communication interfaces to the customer: Cellular
router, integrated WiFi module or CAT5
3.3.1 Ethernet communications
TCP/IP communication over an IEEE 802.3 (a.k.a. “Ethernet”) com liant network between the EVSE
and customer network is available in all EVSE models. A single CAT5e or better cable can be run
from each EVSE to a network hub, router or switch in a star configuration.
The maximum length of the communication cables is determined by the CAT5e standard, which
sti ulates a maximum length of 100 m (328 feet). If longer runs are required, the use of active
hardware such as a re eater or a switch is necessary.
3.3.2 Inte rated WiFi Module option
A Networked Wallmount WattStation with WiFi communication incor orates a IEEE 802.11b/g
com liant radio module. EVSE customers that do not select the WiFi communication o tion will
not receive this radio module. The WiFi module allows the EVSE owner to communicate to their
Building Management System (BMS) or GE WattStation Connect over WiFi. The WiFi module will
have a connection to attach to the EVSE’s WiFi antenna. The WiFi module will su ort IEEE 802.11
b/g networks. O eration on IEEE 802.11n networks will therefore require that the networks be
configured to su ort 802.11g devices. The WiFi module is disabled when shi ed and is enabled
by first connecting to the configuration tool via a CAT5 connection.
The IEEE 802.11b/g com liant WiFi radio is certified as an intentional radiator er FCC Part 15
Sub art C rules and has been granted the following Federal Communication Commission and
Industry Canada (Industrie Canada) identification number.
Note that a Networked Wallmount WattStation that has the WiFi radio and antenna installed
cannot utilize the cellular o tion.

3.3.3 Cellular router option
Two ty es of cellular routers are su orted offered for the Networked Wallmount WattStation:
CDMA/EV-DO and GSM/HSPA. Both routers will su ort s eeds u to 3G and default to lower
s eeds when the maximum is not available. The cellular carrier for the CDMA router is Verizon for
US installations and the cellular carrier for the GSM router is Vodafone for Canada installations. All
cellular claims are based on the US coverage ma rovided by Verizon and Canadian coverage
ma from Vodafone. The cellular router is owered from the EVSE controller. Only one ty e of the
router can be installed in an individual WattStation.
GE recommends that customers erform a site survey with a third arty to ensure adequate
cellular erformance. The exact environmental factors of the location and orientation to the
nearest cell tower strongly affect cellular erformance.
The cellular router is certified as an intentional radiator er FCC Part 15 Sub art C rules and has
been granted the following Federal Communication Commission and Industry Canada (Industrie
Canada) identification numbers.
Note that a Networked Wallmount WattStation that has the cellular router and antenna installed
cannot utilize the WiFi o tion.
3.4 Payment
A ayment o tion allows an EVSE owner to rovide users who have an online ayment account
(PayPal) the ability to charge their vehicle. There are two methods of ayments: smart hone
(iPhone or Android) or RFID.
When using a smart hone, the driver shall scan the QR code on the EVSE using the camera on the
smart hone and the GE WattStation Connect smart hone a lication. The GE WattStation
Connect smart hone a lication will access the GE WattStation network to show the EVSE owner’s
fees for using the charger to the driver. Once the driver has decided on acce ting the EVSE
owner’s fees, the GE WattStation Connect will grant access of the EVSE to the driver.
When using RFID to utilize a driver’s online ayment account, the driver will swi e their RFID card
(WattStation Connect Payment Card) at the EVSE. The driver must first link the WattStation
Connect Payment Card to their PayPal account via the WattStation Connect web a lication. If the
driver acce ts the fees, the GE WattStation Connect will grant access of the EVSE to the driver.
3.5 Electronics
The EVSE controller integrates Control Pilot Functions, Metering, Overload monitoring, ground fault
rotection and all local monitoring.
3.5.1 Supplemental overload Protection

3.5.2 Ground Fault protection
Networked Wallmount WattStation includes 15 - 20 mA GF rotection er UL 2231. The EVSE
rovides fault indication if a ground fault has occurred. The fault will automatically reset er UL
2231 if the fault has occurred after charging has begun. This reset will occur after 15 minutes.
Only 4 automatic retries can occur in a charging session. Un lugging the EVSE connector from the
vehicle will close out a charging session and reset the number of automatic retries. If the ground
fault is detected immediately after charging, the EVSE will sto charging and indicate a fault.
3.5.3 Ground Monitor Interrupter
The EVSE will erform ground monitoring on the line and load side er UL 2231. Ground
monitoring on the load side requires the EVSE to sto or not initiate charging if earth ground is
broken between vehicle and EVSE. Ground monitoring on the line side requires the EVSE to sto
initiate charging if earth ground is not resent on the incoming ower side of the EVSE. If the
ground monitor detects the loss of ground on the vehicle side of the EVSE, the EVSE will disconnect
the contactor if charging or revent charging if the vehicle is requesting charge. If the ground
monitor detects the loss of ground on the line side of the EVSE, the fault icon will indicate fault and
revent the EVSE from charging a vehicle.
3.5.4 Ventilation Fault
If a vehicle requests facility ventilation, the Networked Wallmount WattStation will not charge the
vehicle and issue a fault indication on the fault icon. The fault will be cleared once the EVSE
connector is removed from the vehicle.
3.5.5 Meterin
The Networked Wallmount WattStation measures the voltage, current, ower and Energy
consumed by the EV during a charge and the measured data is available through Modbus or
WattStation Connect.
3.6 GE WattStation Connect
GE WattStation Connect is a server a lication that allows owners to configure and monitor their
EVSEs remotely. GE WattStation Connect also handles RFID authentication and setu . The
customer will access GE WattStation Connect through their web browser on their PC

4Software Confi uration
4.1 Connectin to Confi uration Tool
WattStation contains a configuration tool which can be used to establish owner references and
to setu the communication arameters for the customer’s network. The initial connection to the
Configuration Tool must be made by connecting to the Ethernet ort.
For WiFi-equi ed units, utilize the Ethernet ort on the exterior lower-right corner of the
enclosure.
For cellular-equi ed units, ower down the unit and remove the to cover. Un lug the CAT5 cable
from the cellular modem and lug into your PC.
Subsequent connections to the tool can be made over WiFi after the wireless network settings
have been made to connect to the a ro riate network.
The default IP address for the WattStation’s Ethernet communications ort de ends on whether or
not the cellular o tion is resent. For the ur oses of customer convenience, the WattStation is
shi ed from the factory with default network setting of “DHCP enabled”. This means that the
WattStation will try to obtain an IP address from a DCHP server if one is available.

© GE All Rights Reserved 19
Approach 1:
In the case of WattStation without the cellular router o tion, if the WattStation is not connected to
a network with a DHCP server then it will default to an IP address of 192.168.13.1. Before
connecting to the tool, ensure your com uter has an IP address on the same subnet as the
WattStation. The method to do this varies by o erating system. Pull u a menu that lets you
modify the Local Area Connection ro erties (see below). On Windows machines this is done
through the Control Panel, then selecting Network, then selecting Ada ter settings. Then right click
on Local Area Connection and select Pro erties.
The next ste is to select IPv4 and click ro erties (on some older o erating systems that don’t
su ort IPv6 this might just be TCP/IP settings or something similar). Uncheck “Obtain an IP
address automatically” and instead assign a static IP address on the same subnet as the
WattStation and subnet mask as shown below.

© GE All Rights Reserved 20
After saving settings reboot the com uter or otherwise verify that its IP settings have changed.
Connect the com uter’s Ethernet ort to the WattStation’s external Ethernet ort with a Cat5
cable. Connection to the configuration tool can now be made by ty ing the following into the
browser’s URL window.
Ty e into URL window: htt s://192.168.13.1
The web browser will likely res ond with a screen questioning the security of the WattStation’s
htt s server. This is fine and to be ex ected (see Section 4.3 – Acce ting Connection to the
Configuration Tool).
Approach 2:
If the WattStation does have the cellular router o tion, the cellular router does have an internal
DHCP server and will rovide any DCHP clients connected to it IP addresses starting with
192.168.13.100. This makes determining the IP address of the WattStation more com lex, since
multi le WattStations may be connected in addition to the com uting device you are using to
browse into the configuration tool. In this case, you should start by trying to log into the tool at
192.168.13.100 and increment the last byte (i.e. 100 -> 101, 102, 103, etc.) of the IP address until all
WattStation units are configured. Note that your com uter may be one of these addresses and
unless you ha en to be running an HTTP or HTTPs server on it your browser should res ond that
it could not connect.
Ty e into URL window: htt s://192.168.13.100
Your browser will likely res ond with a screen questioning the security of the WattStation’s htt s
server. This is fine and to be ex ected (see section 4.3– Acce ting Connection to the Configuration
Tool).
