The invention relates to a method for setting at least one communication parameter of a communication module () of a charging station (), used for communication, in particular wired communication, via an interface () of the charging station (). The invention addresses the problem of enabling the at least one communication parameter to be set in the simplest manner possible, with significant reliability and great security. It is proposed according to the invention that: &#x2014;a calibration device () is coupled to the interface (), &#x2014;authentication data is transmitted from the calibration device () to the communication module (), &#x2014;a value for the at least one communication parameter is transmitted from the calibration device () to the communication module (), and&#x2014;the at least one communication parameter is set by the communication module () depending on an evaluation of the authentication data by the communication module () according to the value transmitted.

Setting a communication parameter of a communication module of a charging station

A collector wire network for communicating locally fixed system parts having at least one variable-location system part, wherein data transmission devices are each assigned a reception range, where the reception range is mapped onto a section that results from a length of a collector wire segment plus a first overlap length and a second overlap length, the data transmission device connected to the respective collector wire segment is configured such that a level of the data signal transmitted thereby is matched to a respective reception range such that, because of attenuation of the level, caused by line damping along the first and second conductors and the coupling elements, the level in a receiving device of a variable-location system part which is located outside the reception range no longer recognized as a valid signal.
