Setup of dire t LAN onne tion to the eCB1
Step 1: Install eCB1 (if included externally) and/or connect it to the power supply.
Step 2: Integrate the eCB1 in your network a PC or a laptop with help of a LAN cable
(see image).
Please Note: Please make sure that only one unfigured eCB1 is connected to your network in order to
avoid name collisions.
1. Start your browser.
2. Type in the following URL „http://e b1.lo al“ (see image below).
1. The user interface of the eCB1 opens.
Configuration manual eCB1 Smartmeter
Version: 1.2.1 5

Should the interface not open please verify the following things:
1. The name resolution does not work.
Please open the interface via the actual IP-adress of the eCB1.
„(http://<IP>/)“
Open the desktop of your router and read the IP address of the eCB1 (see manual of your
router).
If you have Windows XP/7/8: Install Apple Bonjour®. You can find the download link on
www.apple.com. Then try to enter the URL again.
Please note: Apple Bonjour® is also included in Apple iTunes®.
Alternatively contact the network administrator.
2. The Status LED is not glowing.
If the Status LED of the eCB1 does not glow it means that the
Smartmeter is not provided with any power.
Please make sure that at least one of the phase conductors L1 and
the neutral conductor N are connected to the eCB1.
3. The Status-LED glows or blinks in red.
If the Status LED glows or blinks in red an error has occurred.
Please restart the eCB1 by pressing the Reset-button with a pointy
object for about 1-3 se onds.
4. The Network-LED is not glowing
The network cable is not properly/correctly connected to the network port if the
network-LED does not glow. Please make sure that you have inserted both ends of the
cable properly and correctly.
5. eCB1 ould not be found in the network
This means that eCB1 is not located in the same local network. Please connect the
eCB1 with the same Router/Switch as the one of your PC’s/laptop’s.
If that doesn’t solve your problem, please reset the eCB1 to its fa tory settings by
pressing the Reset-button with a pointy obje t for about 4 se onds to 10 se onds.

Configuration of eCB1 LR MP (metering point)
Opening the Webinterface
Access the Webinterface of the eCB1 MP+ (metering point at the house connection) by
entering its IP address in your webbrowser.
Prior to that it has to be integrated into the network of the house. Then through the
interface of the router you can find the IP address of all eCB1 including this one.
If therer is no other configured eCB1 in your Network you can contact the eCB1 MP+ with
http://ecb1.local for first configuration.
If the Domane Name System should not work you can find the IP adress through the
Webinterface of your router.
The following page should open up:
Please click “proceed” to get to the following section:
Language
Here you can set:
- language
- the country in which you are installing the charging station
- the time zone
Configuration manual eCB1 Smartmeter
Version: 1.2.1 8

Date and time
Click “proceed” to get to the following screen:
Here you can set the time and date manually or automatically.
Manual setting
Click on the Date button and choose the current date. Then continue with the Time
button to enter the current time.
Please separate the hours minutes and seconds with colons.
To complete the settings press “set time” and the settings will be saved.
Automati setting
In this case “Date” and “Time” do not need any entries.
There are pre-set internet pages in section “NTP Server 1” and “NTP Server 2”. These will
connect you automatically with a time server.
Click on “Set time by ntp” to save your settings. If you want to connect with a different or
your own time server please enter the internet address manually.
By clicking “automati syn hronise at boot” the time will be synchronised automatically
after every outage (power network etc.).
Configuration manual eCB1 Smartmeter
Version: 1.2.1 9

Network settings
After completion of the time and date settings click on “Continue” to get to the next
section.
Choose “DHCP” as protocol.
Your DHCP Server (e.g Router) will do further settings automatically and fill the remaining
blank spaces.
There are no other settings to be made in the section except giving a hostname.
If you choose “static” as protocol please contact your network administrator in order to fill
the remaining forms according to your network.
Select a distinct hostname. Usually the device responds to the given hostname meaning
the URL will change to >givenname<.local instead. Upon delivery the hostname given is
“e b1.lo al”.

Version: 1.2.1 10

Internal
In this section you will determine the function of the eCB1 which in this case is to be the
metering point at the house onne tion.
Therefore choose “building service head” as device funktion as well.
The button “measurement via current transformer” must only be activated when there is a
measuring transformer needed/installed. Press on the button to activate (orange) and
deactivate (grey). Usually (by German law) a measuring transformer is required when the
house connection exceeds 63A.
To prevent confusion between both the eCP1 MP+ and eCP1 PV you can choose a name
for the device.
Charge connector
Since the eCB1 MP+ is solely for metering there is no charging point to define. Choose
“no EVCC”.
Configuration manual eCB1 Smartmeter
Version: 1.2.1 11

Setup finish
After completion of the initial setup the device restarts to implement/save all the settings.
Restarting process can take up to five minutes.
Should no interface appear after five minutes please refresh the page or enter the IP-
address again.
The setup finish ends the configuration process of the eCB1 LR MP+ and you can now go
on with the configuration of a second eCB1.

Explanation of Webinterfa e
ECO-Charging Mode = ensures minimum charge (see page 16) through a PV-System
and/or with power from the power supply net if needed. Purchase of energy from power
supply net is only the case if AI-Mode is deactivated.
AI-Mode = Only available if ECO-Charge Mode is activated (Button will be marked in
orange). In AI-Mode the charging process will automatically start in case of surplus PV-
power or turn off when there is too little PV-power. For this section „Eco Min-Max
Ampere“ in the later configuration is the most important setting.
Fast-Charging Mode = A charging process with maximum capacity of the charging
station is started.
Manual-Charging Mode = In this charging mode you can set the charging power
manually.
Start Charging pro ess = Press this button to start the charging process.
Stop Charging pro ess= Press this button to stop the charging process.
Current harging graph= Shows the current power output at the house connection as
well as single power graphs of the charger connection.
