The dongle features RS-485 terminals which are critical for establishing communication with the TeltoCharge system. These terminals are usually labeled as Ground (GND), A+ (positive differential signal), and B- (negative differential signal).
 
 
 
*To connect the dongle to the TeltoCharge, you'll need to use an appropriate RS-485 cable.
 
*Connect the 'A+' terminal of your cable to the 'A+' port on the TeltoCharge device.
 
*Connect the 'B-' terminal of your cable to the 'B-' port on the TeltoCharge device.
 
''Note :'' In case of communication errors, swapping the 'A+' and 'B-' connections might resolve the issue.

===General meter settings===
 
According to your smart meter documentation, please enter all the settings into the Teltonika app as shown.
 
#'''Energy meter type''': You need to select the type of smart meter (1-phase/3-phase). Please note that you can use a 1-phase charger even if the meter is 3-phase.
 
#'''RS-485 baud rate''': To ensure optimal performance and compatibility with the P1 smart dongle, the RS-485 baud rate must be configured to 38400.  
 
#'''RS-485 parity/stop bit''': Similarly, this information can also be found in the meter settings. If the client is unable to find it, it is advisable to check the smart meter manual.
