SetNetworkProfile

Configures how the station connects: the CSMS URL, the security profile, APN and network settings.

Version: OCPP 2.0.1
Direction: CSMS → Charge Point
Functional block: Security

There is no 1.6 equivalent. A network connection profile bundles the CSMS URL, the OCPP version, the security profile and the physical network configuration — APN for cellular, SSID for Wi-Fi — into one addressable slot.

The station keeps several slots and tries them in a configured order, which is what makes a safe URL migration possible: add a new profile at a lower priority, verify, then promote it.

Values

Security profiles

Value	Meaning
`1`	Unsecured transport with HTTP Basic authentication. Permitted only on a trusted network.
`2`	TLS with HTTP Basic authentication. The station verifies the CSMS certificate.
`3`	TLS with client-side certificate authentication. Both sides verify.

Implementation notes

Writing the slot the station is currently using can strand it. Write a spare slot, then adjust NetworkConfigurationPriority so the station falls back to the old one if the new one fails.

Security profile 3 requires the station to hold a valid client certificate — install and verify it before switching.

The security profile is what a procurement questionnaire is asking about when it asks how chargers authenticate.
