Where the setting lives
In V2C Cloud: on the v2c.cloud website (left menu → OCPP) or in the app, inside the charger's configuration → OCPP.
Step by step
- Create a V2C Cloud account (app or web) and pair the Trydan. It must be connected over Wi-Fi: chargers connected any other way do not appear in the OCPP section.
- Open OCPP and tap the green pencil to edit.
- In the central station URL enter your brand's base URL (below, without the identifier): the Trydan appends its own OCPP ID.
- Do not change the OCPP ID the charger ships with: register it as it is on askacharge.com. Changing it can break the communication.
- Tick the OCPP box and save. It shows as connected in the panel within a minute.
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 V2C, 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://). If your model only supports unencrypted ws://, it can be allowed charger by charger on its page in the panel, and the password is still required. |
| 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. |
Want to check it before signing up for anything?
Point your charger at our OCPP test server: free, no account, over wss:// or ws://. You will see what it sends live and we will tell you what would fail when you connect it for real.
Where it usually fails
- Wi-Fi only, with a stable connection; it is the first cause of "it will not connect".
- V2C states that the OCPP service is provided by a third party: V2C Cloud functions that depend on its cloud may be limited while OCPP is on.
- With a data SIM, set the correct APN on the charger before anything else.
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.
