Which OCPP URL do I enter on a Alpitronic for askacharge.com?

wss://askacharge.com/askacharge/ocpp/your-brand, where your-brand is the brand identifier on askacharge.com; the charger appends its identity. The identity must match the one registered in the panel, and username (the identity) and password (the one the panel shows when you add the charger) are required: Security Profile 2.

Do I lose the manufacturer's app when I set OCPP on a Alpitronic?

Some app functions move to the OCPP platform (start, cards, statistics). The hardware stays the same and you can go back by changing the URL again.

How to change the OCPP server URL on a Alpitronic charger (Hypercharger HYC50) and connect it to another platform

Q: Can a Alpitronic charger be connected to a platform other than the manufacturer's?

Yes. The Hypercharger HYC50, HYC150, HYC200, HYC300, HYC400 (DC fast charging) models speak standard OCPP and let you change the server URL. In the Hypercharger's web interface: laptop by Ethernet cable to the XF1 service port (lower area, display-door side), http://192.168.1.100 in the browser. Username admin; password whatever the installer set (factory admin123). Section OCPP configuration. It is an operator-grade charger: if you did not install it, whoever commissioned it has the password.

A Alpitronic charger that speaks standard OCPP can be connected to any platform by changing one setting. Here is where that setting lives on Hypercharger HYC50, HYC150, HYC200, HYC300, HYC400 (DC fast charging), exactly what to enter, and where people usually get stuck. Written by a platform (askacharge.com), but the procedure works for any.

Where the setting lives

In the Hypercharger's web interface: laptop by Ethernet cable to the XF1 service port (lower area, display-door side), http://192.168.1.100 in the browser. Username admin; password whatever the installer set (factory admin123). Section OCPP configuration. It is an operator-grade charger: if you did not install it, whoever commissioned it has the password.

Step by step

Get the network working first (Ethernet or SIM/LTE with its APN, under Network settings), as per the installation manual.
OCPP configuration → OCPP version: 1.6 (recent firmware also offers 2.0.1; askacharge.com accepts both).
WebSocketUrl: your brand's base URL (below), without the identity; the charger appends its ChargePointId.
ChargePointId: the identity you register in the panel (the serial number is the convenient choice).
SecurityProfile = 2 and AuthorizationKey = the password the panel gave you when you added the charger (40 hexadecimal digits, which is what this charger requires). HycKioskModeEnabled = false, or it will charge anyone who walks up for free.
Save configuration and then a Hard Reset from the same interface: the URL only applies after a reboot. At boot it appears in the panel with its connectors.

What to enter to connect it to askacharge.com

OCPP server URL	`wss://askacharge.com/askacharge/ocpp/your-brand` — your-brand is your brand's identifier on askacharge.com (shown under Chargers → Add, with the full URL ready to copy). The charger appends its own identity; if your unit only has a URL field and no identity field, enter the full URL: `…/ocpp/your-brand/identity`.
Charge point identity	The same one you register in the panel when adding the charger. Case-sensitive. With Alpitronic, the serial number is the easiest choice.
Username and password	Required. The username is the charger identity and the password is the one the panel shows when you add the charger (shown once; if lost, generate a new one from the charger's page). Without it the server rejects the connection. This is OCPP Security Profile 2 (Basic Auth over `wss://`); there is no unencrypted or password-less path.
Protocol	OCPP 1.6J (JSON) or OCPP 2.0.1. Subprotocol `ocpp1.6` / `ocpp2.0.1`.
Before connecting	The charger must be registered in the brand with that identity; otherwise the server rejects the connection. Register under Chargers → Add.

Where it usually fails

The Hypercharger's AuthorizationKey is write-only and must be hexadecimal: the one from the askacharge.com panel already is. If the charger had one from a previous platform, it cannot be read back; it is replaced.
The security profile only goes up, never down: if the charger is on 3 (client certificate) you need Alpitronic or the previous operator first.
With HycKioskModeEnabled true the charger ignores the authorisation response: it looks as if "everything works" and nothing gets billed.
MeterValues interval: 30-60 s so the power shown in the panel is real.

If your brand isn't here

The procedure is always the same; what changes is where the setting lives: look in the manufacturer's app, in the charger's web interface (by its IP) or in the installer software for a section called OCPP, Back office, Central System or Server. You need to be able to enter the URL and, nearly always, the identity. If the field is locked or missing, the manufacturer has tied the charger to its own platform: read what to do when the manufacturer locks or switches off its server.
