Description

This test case covers how the CSMS requests the Charging Station to change the availability of one of the Connectors from one EVSE from Inoperative to Operative. A Connector is considered Operative in any status other than Faulted and Unavailable.

Purpose

To verify if the Charging Station is able to perform the change availability mechanism as described at the OCPP specification.

Main (Test scenario)

Charging Station	CSMS
2. The Charging Station responds with a ChangeAvailabilityResponse	1. The OCTT sends a ChangeAvailabilityRequest; with operationalStatus Operative and evse.id <Configured evseId> and evse.connectorId <Configured connectorId>
3. The Charging Station notifies the CSMS about the current state of the connectors.	4. The OCTT responds accordingly.
