How to start with RFID?
With an RFID card, you can start charging by simply placing the card against the RFID reader on the drive. You can use any RFID card, and you probably have one before, such as a keychain or a recent visa card.

In the Add RFID page, enter the name of the charging station that is marked next to the socket, and press "Add RFID"
Hold the card against the RFID reader on the drive, and wait for the green signal on the web page.
