Hello,
I am installing an EV charger that uses a Teltonika RUT950 router (WAN via Ethernet).
The payment terminal is connected to a dedicated terminal port of the charger network behind the router.
The charger requires the terminal to connect to a fixed local address:
192.168.111.50
Problem:
When the terminal connects to this address it always shows “connection refused” and cannot complete initialization.
What I verified:
Ethernet WAN is working
Router WebUI accessible
If I connect a laptop to the same terminal port, internet works normally
Terminal is visible in the router LAN client list with correct MAC
Hardware and cables seem OK
Charger backend shows no obvious error
I also tested DHCP.
The terminal can obtain an IP, but the charger only accepts communication via 192.168.111.50, so initialization still fails.
Router log repeatedly shows:
“Mobile network rejection was recently detected”
(LTE SIM is inserted but Ethernet WAN is primary)
My suspicion:
The router may be blocking or resetting traffic frome IP 192.168.111.50.
Could firewall/NAT/failover behavior in the RUT950 prevent communication to a fixed local device inside the LAN?
Any recommended settings or tests would be appreciated.
Thank you.
