The Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) standard designates an identifier for each charge box called CBID (“Chargebox Identity”). The CBID ensures that each charging station is unique within a charge point management system (CPMS) .
If communication takes place via websocket, the CBID is therefore even part of the WS address. So no communication to the backend can be established without the CBID being known.
