Description

This test case describes how the CSMS requests the Charging Station to change the availability from inperative to operative. A Charging Station is considered Operative when it is charging or ready for charging. A Charging Station is considered Inoperative when it does not allow any charging.

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
3. The Charging Station notifies the CSMS about the current state of all its connectors (and optionally also the Charging Station itself and all EVSE).	4. The OCTT responds accordingly.
