Operating Modes

Operating Modes#

Pazzk firmware supports four different operating modes, each optimized for a specific use case. The features and limitations vary depending on the selected mode.

1. Development Mode#

Description#

  • Mode for development and debugging

  • No restrictions on configuration changes

  • Logging and debug interfaces enabled

Key Features#

  • Detailed logging (Level: Debug)

  • Firmware and configuration changes allowed

  • Security mechanisms (e.g., firmware verification) can be disabled

  • Remote debugging and test APIs enabled

Use Case#

Used during development to test new features and debug issues.

2. Manufacturing Mode#

Description#

  • Mode for factory testing and initial configuration

  • Used in production lines to verify device functionality

Key Features#

  • Factory test features enabled

  • Automatic calibration and self-diagnostics

  • Hardware functionality checks

  • Limited configuration changes allowed

  • Firmware verification enabled

Use Case#

Used before shipment to verify hardware and firmware functionality.

3. Installing Mode#

Description#

  • Used during on-site installation and configuration

  • Allows installation engineers to set up network and system configurations

Key Features#

  • Network setup and certificate installation enabled

  • Basic operational tests allowed

  • Configuration changes allowed (until transition to production mode)

  • Debug logging enabled (less detailed than development mode)

Use Case#

Used by CPOs or operators to configure devices during deployment.

4. Production Mode#

Description#

  • Normal operating mode after installation

  • Charging services are fully operational

Key Features#

  • Charging service active

  • Configuration changes restricted (ensuring security and integrity)

  • Remote software updates allowed

  • Security enforcement and firmware verification enabled

  • System protection and automatic recovery features enabled

Use Case#

Used in production environments where the charging station is fully operational.
