    This guide describes how to onboard Circontrol chargers with Tap.

    Onboarding in this context means getting the charger communicating with Tap. If you are looking for a complete guide for setting up an account and configuring your locations, see our Quick Start Guide.

    To connect Circontrol chargers, you will need to be physically located at the charger with a Windows laptop and a LAN cable.
