shoes.
The scope of application of the station and the danger of expiration of the warranty
Charging vehicles using the PublicBox charging station is possible in public, semi-public and private
spaces.
The PublicBox charging station is intended only for charging electric and hybrid passenger cars, i.e.
cars with electric drive in accordance with the PN-EN 61851-1 and PN-EN 61851-22 standards and
cannot be used for purposes other than those provided for in this standard.
The user is liable for any damage caused by the vehicle or arising in connection with the use of the
charging station in a manner not provided for in the PN-EN 61851 standard.
Unjustified opening of the station housing as well as modifications, removal of station equipment by
unauthorized persons will result in the expiry of the manufacturer's warranty, but above all, it can
lead to significant material losses, and, due to the possibility of electric shock, to serious bodily injury
and death.

5
Explosion and fire hazard
Do not store or use highly flammable liquids such as gasoline or ethanol near the charging station,
which produce flammable vapors that may cause an explosion hazard.
It is forbidden to use the charging station by vehicles transporting flammable, corrosive, explosive
materials and other similar materials and substances that may pose a threat to people and property.

CHARGING STATION WEB INTERFACE
The charging station web interface can be accessed by users via USB-C to USB cable or through the
charging station's IP address, every station default setting is DHCP which means IP address is set
automatically. The IP address can be changed manually. If the IP address is entered in the internet
browser while the computer is in the same local network, the charging station will connect to the
web interface.
To access the charging station you have to be in the same network. Easiest way is to connect your PC
to the same router/switch as your charger. Once the same network is achieved you have a couple
options to connect to the charger:
Connect to Web Interface
The charging station web interface can be accessed by users through the charging station's IP
address, every station default setting is DHCP which means IP address is set automatically. The IP
address can be changed manually. If the IP address is entered in the internet browser while the
computer is in the same local network, the charging station will connect to the web interface.
To access the charging station you have to be in the same network. Easiest way is to connect your PC
to the same router/switch as your charger. Once the same network is achieved you have 2 options to
connect to the charger:
IP: First step is to find the IP address. You will need IP scanner tool (example: Advanced IP
Scanner). Set a range in which network you want to search (in Advanced IP Scanner just press
on IP button) and press scan. Look under manufacturer and find Phoenix Contact and copy IP
address.
Figure 5: IP Scanner
To check if the computer is on the same network as the charging station ping charging
station IP using CMD. Simply enter the IP address of the charging station after the word
"ping" in the command line to check if there is a connection. If the computer is not on the

15
same network as the charging station, the network settings of the computer can be changed
to establish a connection. To open the Command Prompt, search for it in the Windows
search bar.
Figure 6: Searching for Command Prompt
Figure 7: Open Command Prompt
Figure 8: Pinging the IP

16
If the ping is unsuccessful, it could indicate that the computer is in a different network
segment than the charging station. In this case, check again if your PC is connected to the
same router/switch.
If the ping is successful search the IP in browser and access web interface.
Address: Default address is set to ev3000/ev3000.local. Search one of the addresses in the
browser to access the web interface. If you are not in the same network as the charger
address won’t work.
USB-C:
1. You must always download an RNDIS driver for your computer. You will find the driver at
“catalog.update.microsoft.com”.
2. Search for “USB\VID_0525&PID_A4A2” or “RNDIS Gadget”. Select a driver for your
operating system, for example, the driver from Acer for “Win7/8.1/later”.
Figure 9: Driver Download Page
3. Download the driver. It is approximately 21 kB in size.
4. Create a new folder under c:\ with a name rndis-driver.
5. Unpack the zip file to a directory you just created, c:\rndis-driver.
