First Access 4 (72)
2 First Access
To display the web interface of the eWON Flexy 205, open a web browser and target the IP ad­dress of the device which by default is 10.0.0.53.
If the IP address must be changed, follow the Set up the LAN IP address of an eWON device document from the Related Documents, p. 3
2.1 Login
The first screen displayed is a login form. The factory predefined parameters to log in to the de­vice are:
eWON Default Credentials
IP address 10.0.0.53 Login (case insensitive) adm
Password (case sensitive) adm
For security reasons, the password must be changed on first connection! This one can be changed by going to Setup > Users.
2.2 Language Selection
On first login, a windows appears and asks for the language of the interface: English, French, German or Italian.
This selection will also be asked after a reset level 2 which refers to a reset factory configuration.
To change the language of the web interface without performing a reset level 2, the Language parameter of the comcfg.txt file must be changed. To change it, go to Setup > System > Storage > Tabular Edition > Edit COM cfg. This method will change only the interface. If the messages from the event log should also reflect the language change then a reboot is necessary. A reboot can be done either by power off / on the device or by going to Setup > Reboot.
2.3 Wizards
The next step is the configuration of the Flexy 205.
After the login and the selection of the language, the device will propose to follow the wizards to configure the System, the Internet connection, the VPN connection and the Gateway.
The wizards are an easy, automatic and straightforward way of configuring the Flexy 205. It is not mandatory to follow the wizards as the configuration of the Flexy 205 can also be set man­ually through the config.txt and comcfg.txt files.
A summary of each wizard is explained here under:

• Values: configuration & monitoring of the real-time values of the tags.
• Alarms: monitoring of the tag alarms and checking the history of those alarms.
• IO Servers: configuration of the IO server(s) plugged in the Flexy 205.
All 3 sub-sections are described in the following chapters.
5.1 Values
The Flexy 205 monitors and manages variables called tags which are produced by IO servers. The configuration of a tag defines its IO server and all its monitoring parameters such as alarm levels, historical logging...
The “Value” section is the area listing the tags and their values for monitoring but also configura­tion purposes.
The switch between monitoring and configuring is done via the “Mode” button in the upper left side of the page:

Flexy 205 Reference Guide RG-0008-00-EN 1.1
Tags Section 12 (72)
5.1.2.1 Creation of a Page
Page definitions are used in the Flexy 205 for two purposes:
• Restrict user rights to specific directories in the user defined web site.
• Organize tags in pages to ease viewing and restrict user access to specific tags.
A total of 10 user pages can be created.
When tags are defined in a specific page and the name of that page is modified, the same set of tags will belong to the renamed page and users allowed to see the former page will automati­cally see the renamed one.
If a page is deleted while containing tags, those ones will return to the default page. All the users who had access to that page only will have access to “Default” page.
Any text can be entered for the page name but if a page name is used for directory restriction, it must comply with the directory syntax.
5.1.2.2 Creation or Modification of a Tag
When creating a tag, multiple fields must be provided:
Tag Parameters: Identification
Tag Name The name of the tag
It will be used for any reference to the tag when using the export or script function. It will also be included in the alarm email / SMS.
It cannot contain: spaces, “$” (dollar) character or “"” (quote) character. It shouldn’t contain “-” (minus) character if destined to be used in scripting.
The maximum length for is limited to 64 characters.
Page Allows the filtering of the tags and display them on a specific page
The basic configuration offers choices between “Default page” or “System page”. Customer pages can be created an will be automatically added to this list.
Tag Description A free text to describe the meaning of the tag.
This Information is included in the email sent on alarm.
Tag Parameters: I/O Server Setup
Server Name The IO server name is the data source of the tag name. Six data sources are
available: MEM (virtual IO used by script function), eWON (eWON internal IO), MODBUS, NETMPI, SNMP, DF1, FINS, ABLOGIX, S73&400, S7200, HITACHI, MELSEC and BACNET.
For details, refer to theIO Servers document from the Related Documents, p. 3.
Topic Name It is used to apply a common configuration to several tags.
Topic names are configured in the IO Servers (check IO Servers document from
Related Documents, p. 3).
Address This indicates the complete address syntax (path) required to reach the register
inside the third-party device. To ease the writing of the polling destination, a Tag Helper is available and appears automatically as soon as text is typed in the field.
Type Defines the nature of the tag:
• Automatic: let’s the Flexy 205 decide the best nature of the tag. The decision depends on the IO server register / modifier type.
Flexy 205 Reference Guide RG-0008-00-EN 1.1
Tags Section 13 (72)
• Floating Point: a single precision float precision format (IEEE float representation).
• Boolean: a binary value.
• Integer: a 32-bit signed integer.
• DWord: a 32-bit unsigned integer.
Force Read Only Allows the disabling of the “Update” function in the “View” mode of the “Values”
section.
The tag is still read/write for BASIC scripting.
eWON value Defines the offset and scale factor to be applied to the IO value coming from the
third-party device. The offset and scales are float values. The negative values are accepted.
The tag value will be: TAGval = IOSERVERval * scale + offset.
Tag Parameters: Alarm Setup
Alarm Setup If enabled, the alarm will be generated.
Alarm Level Low Low “warning” threshold value for alarm detection.
Alarm Level High High “warning” threshold value for alarm detection.
Alarm Level LowLow Low “danger” threshold value for alarm detection.
Alarm Level HighHigh High “danger” threshold value for alarm detection.
Value Deadband The deadband is the difference between the alarm level and the RTN level (Return
To Normal).
E.g.: if the alarm value is 20°C with a deadband set to 1, the alarm is triggered when the temperature crosses this 20°C boundary. On the other hand, the alarm status will be RTN when the temperature passes below 19°C (because 20° - 1).
Boolean Alarm Level The alarm value of a boolean tag name. This is not applicable for analog tag name.
Activation Delay The time in seconds for which the tag has to be out of threshold before the alarm
tag is triggered.
Auto acknowledge on RTN
If checked, the alarm will be automatically acknowledged when the alarm state goes to RTN. Thus, the alarm is directly ended.
Alarm Hint The information related to the alarm action. This Information will be included in the
alarm email.
Tag Parameters: Historical Logging
Historical Logging If enabled, the values of the tag will be logged in a circular file.
This is a non-volatile logging. The data is stored in the flash file system. All the data is stored in the same file, the maximum number of values that can be saved is from 16384 to 139264, depending on the resources storage setup of the Flexy 205. When maximum size is reached, the oldest data will be erased first.
Logging Deadband Defines the deadband of the incremental recording of the tag. Setting a negative
value will disable it.
Logging Interval Defines the interval, in seconds, for the tag recording. Setting 0 will disable it.
Can be used at the same time as logging deadband.
Flexy 205 Reference Guide RG-0008-00-EN 1.1
Tags Section 14 (72)
Tag Parameters: Real-time Logging
Real-time Logging If enabled, the values of the tag will be logged in memory.
Real-time logging is different than historical logging because the data is saved in a circular memory buffer. The other difference is that incremental recording is not possible, only fixed interval recording can be performed.
Time Span Defines the total logging window time in seconds.
Logging Interval Defines the interval, in seconds, of the tag recording.
Tag Parameters: Tag Visibility
Published Value The value published by the Flexy 205 could be the same as the tag value or could
be modified with a scale factor and an offset.
Modbus TCP visibility If enabled, the tag will be visible.
Each tag in the Flexy 205 can be accessed through a Modbus TCP master.
Register The address of the register, starting with 1.
Only the register address has to be specified, the type of tag (coil, contact, input register or holding register) is obtained from the tag type (analog or boolean) and the tag read-only or read/write property (obtained from the IO server).
Use 32-bit format If checked then 2 consecutive 16 bits registers will be reserved and the value will
be an output as a 4 bytes IEEE float in those 2 registers (standard Modbus float representation).
If the tag is published as integer it may need to be scaled to fit the 16 bits Modbus register. This operation will be applied to the tag value before publishing it.
SNMP visibility If enabled, the tag can be seen by the SNMP manager.
OID The base OID is already defined, the only parameter is the last part of the OID.
Tag groups Allows the grouping of tags into group (from A to D).
5.1.2.3 Configuration of an Alarm Tag
The configuration of an alarm for a specific tag can be done either by clicking on the “Configure Alarm actions” button (when a tag has been selected) or on the alarm icon located in the tag row.
Send an Email
Email upon Checks the alarm states triggering an email (ALM, ACK, RTN, END).
Format as short message
In some cases, it is useful to have the whole message sent in the subject field. For example: if the email should be routed as an SMS.
Email to The list of “TO” email address(es). They must be seperated by “,” (comma) or “;”
semi-colon.
Email CC The list of “CC” email address(es). They must be seperated by “,” (comma) or “;”
semi-colon.

6 Diagnostic
The “Diagnostic” area is the place to go if an issue is encountered on the Flexy 205. This sec­tion is divided in 3:
• Logs: regroups all the logs the Flexy 205 records.
• Status: regroups all the information of the current state of the Flexy 205.
• Files Transfer: allows the possibility to display / download several configuration / communi­cations files of the Flexy 205.
6.1 Logs
The “Logs” section is the place where all recorded events can be displayed. It is divided in 3 sub-sections: Event Logs, Realtime Logs and Scheduled Actions.
6.1.1 Event Logs
This page displays the information recorded in the “Events.txt” file (check Files Transfer, p. 26).
On this page, the logged data are presented in reverse chronological order: recent events on the top, older ones at the bottom). The events are displayed in different colors to differentiate Error (red), Warning (orange) and Trace (black) events.
Event Logs Page Parameters
Filter Allows the filtering of the data. All 4 columns are taken into consideration.
Items to display Allows the display of a limited number of items.

level(s) greater than this level are shown.
Time The time & date when the event occurred.
Event The ID of the event.
Description The description of the event. Each description refers to a single event ID.
Originator The interface that triggered an event log.
Autorefresh If enabled, the list will be automatically refreshed at the defined time interval.
6.1.2 Realtime Logs
This page displays the debug information for different interfaces.
These logs are stored in RAM memory and are cleared on reboot.
This logging is a time consuming task and thus will slow down the overall behavior of the Flexy 205. These debug interfaces should be activated and used only during the debugging process!

7.4.1.1.3 Alarms
Control Description
Action retriggered interval
The alarm action (email, SMS, PUTFTP, trap SNMP) is triggered permanently, based on the specified time interval, as long as the alarm state is ALM. The trigger cycle is stopped by an acknowledge (ACK) or a return to normal (RTN). Default value: 86400 seconds. The value 0 disables the triggering cycle feature.
Retry action This parameter defines the number of times the action will be retried in case of
errors. The value of this number must be greater than 0.
Action retry interval This parameter defines the time interval (in seconds) between two retry attempts if
an error occurred. The value for this parameter must be greater than 9.
Email Alarm Template A free text and / or functions (check Configurable Fields for Email and SMS, p. 70).
This is used to customize the content of the emails used during alarm notifications. The template will be applied to the alarm notification of all tags but will be ignored as soon as a single character is inserted in the alarm setup of the tag itself. The template is not applied if the checkbox “Format as Short Message” is selected for the email notification in the alarm setup of the tag itself. That is why this function is not available if SMS are sent using the Talk2M email notification service.
SMS Alarm Template A free text and / or functions (check Configurable Fields for Email and SMS, p. 70)
can be introduced to customize the contents of the SMS. The default SMS layout is ignored as soon as a single character is present in this field. The template will be ap­plied to the alarm notification of all tags.

7.4.1.1.1.3 Actions Configuration for Planner
This panel is very similar to the Configuration of an Alarm Tag, p. 14.
Send an Email
Email upon If enabled, the planner will send an email when requested.
Format as short message
In some cases, it is useful to have the whole message sent in the subject field. For example: if the email should be routed as an SMS.
Email to The list of “TO” email address(es). They must be seperated by “,” (comma) or “;”
semi-colon.
Email CC The list of “CC” email address(es). They must be seperated by “,” (comma) or “;”
semi-colon.
Email Subject The subject of the email (except if short message is selected).
Email Attachment(s) The body text of the email.
This text can include Export Block Descriptors inline (as text) or as attachment files. There can be as many attachments as required.
Attachments to include in the email must follow the syntax: &[EBD_1] &[EBD_2] For example: &[$dtRTGA_AN01$ftG] &[$dtEV$ftT] will export real time data of “GA_AN01” tag as a graphic and the event log file as a text file.
Flexy 205 Reference Guide RG-0008-00-EN 1.1
Setup 39 (72)
Send an SMS
SMS upon If enabled, the planner will send an SMS when requested.
SMS Destination The list of SMS recipient(s).
See SMS Recipient(s) Syntax, p. 67.
SMS Subject The content appearing at the beginning of the SMS message.
Transfer to FTP
Put FTP upon If enabled, the planner will send a file when requested.
Destination File Name The name of the file to create on the distant FTP server. The name can contain
path specification.
File Content The file content can be static or dynamic.
If a standard (static) text is put in this field, the file that will be transferred will receive that static text as content.
If the file content has the following form, one (or more) file will be written with a dynamic content: [EXPORT_BLOC_DESCRIPTOR_1] [EBD_2]...The number of EBD is unlimited. If the “$fn” field is used with multiple EBD, the “Destination File Name” property must be empty.
Transfer to SNMP
SNMP Trap upon If enabled, the planner will send an SNMP trap when requested.
Trap Subject The specific text displayed in the trap event of the SNMP manager.
The text string is limited to 256 chars. Traps are sent to all the hosts defined in the SNMP configuration web page configured to receive such traps.
Because the planner is using the BASIC command SENDTRAP, two parameters are actually re- ceived by the SNMP manager:
• The “Trap Subject” described here above.
• An integer which is submitted by the SENDTRAP BASIC command which, in this case, will always be 30000.
7.4.1.2 Net Services
The Flexy 205 has two modes of operation when it comes to its Internet connectivity features:
• A server mode such as a web server and an FTP server
• A client mode such as an email client, an FTP client and an NTP client.
In the server mode, the Flexy 205 is waiting for a client to connect (through his web browser or FTP client).
In the client mode, the Flexy 205 needs to connect to a server. For this connection, the mini­mum to provide is the IP address of the server and the port number for the required service. Sometimes a username and a password are also required.
Except in some special cases, the port number is usually the default value suggested by the Flexy 205. This chapter is used to define the client mode configuration of the Flexy 205.
Flexy 205 Reference Guide RG-0008-00-EN 1.1
Setup 40 (72)
7.4.1.2.1 VCOM
The Flexy 205 supports two kinds of VCOM mode and an additional mode which is not exactly classified as a VCOM mode although it has the same purpose.
RAW TCP This is a basic mode where the computer opens a TCP/IP socket to the Flexy 205
on a predefined port. This socket is used to exchange data from and towards the serial port Flexy 205.
The serial port configuration (baud rate, parity, etc.) must be defined in the configuration of the Flexy 205. The serial port signals (RTS, DTR, etc.) are not exchanged between the computer and the Flexy 205.
This mode can also be used to create simple TCP/IP applications that need to communicate through the serial port of the Flexy 205, as the only requirement is to open a TCP/IP socket on the Flexy 205.
TELNET RFC 2217 In addition to the RAW mode, this mode allows the remote control of the serial
port on the Flexy 205. Each configuration change performed on the computer virtual COM port is automatically applied to the serial port of the Flexy 205.
It is also possible to change the modem line status which means that the RTS/ CTS, DTR, DCD (etc.) levels of the physical port of the Flexy 205 are reflected on the computer virtual port and vice-versa.
This protocol is called TELNET RFC 2217 because it has been standardized and described in an RFC specification which means that any client supporting the RFC 2217 protocol can use the Flexy 205 as a virtual port server.
Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU Gateway
Although it is possible to use this technology to transfer almost any type of data through the virtual serial port, some protocols require special handling for efficient operation. Modbus RTU is one of these protocols and VCOM technology cannot be correctly combined with that protocol. For Modbus RTU communication, it is recommended to use eVCOM software and use the Flexy 205 as a Modbus TCP to Modbus RTU gateway.
All serial ports can be used for VCOM:
• The COM1 is always the serial port 1 of the Flexy 205.
• The COM2 is always the modem port even if there is no modem present on the Flexy 205, the COM2 exists but is useless. It should only be used for debug purposes because when it is used by VCOM, it is not available for PPP or SMS communication.
• The COM3, if present, is linked to the serial port 2 (SER2).
• The COM4, if present, is linked to the serial port 3 (SER3).
VCOM Parameters: General
Control Description
COM port The selection of the COM port that will be configured.
Port Type The port type: Raw TCP, Telnet RFC 2217 or Disabled.
TCP Port The TCP/IP port allowing the communication between the computer and the Flexy
205 serial port. If multiple VCOM are defined on the same Flexy 205, they must all use a different TCP/IP port.
Poll Signal Interval The scan rate. This parameter is only used in TELNET RFC 2217 mode.
The Flexy 205 will scan the modem port for changes in modem line input levels (CTS, DSR, DCD, RING). Default value: 100msec.
Debug The recording of debug info for VCOM. When activated, this function slows down
the overall performance of the Flexy 205. All debug info will be accessible in the Di- agnostic > Logs > Realtime Logs menu.
Flexy 205 Reference Guide RG-0008-00-EN 1.1
Setup 41 (72)
VCOM Parameters: Access Management
Control Description
Always accept new clients
If checked, the Flexy 205 will close existing connections and accept the new connection. When a computer is connected to the Flexy 205, a socket is opened between both devices. As the computer switches off, the Flexy 205 doesn’t know if the socket should be closed or not. When the computer tries to connect again, the Flexy 205 will refuse the connection. This option is provided in order to avoid that situation. This means that if a computer is connected to the VCOM port and another computer tries to connect, the new computer connection will replace the first one.
Stop IO Server As a new VCOM connection is established, if the port is the same as the one used
by an IO server, that specific IO server will be stopped. Only applies for MITSUFX, HITACHI and S5-AS511 IO servers.
Inactivity Timeout The amount of time the Flexy 205 will wait before closing the VCOM socket in case
of communication inactivity.
VCOM Parameters: Line Parameters
Control Description
Baud Rate The baud rate of the communication setup.
This will be permanent on RAW TCP mode but considered as a “initialization” pa­rameter on TELNET RFC 2217 as it is more likely the computer virtual port will change it.
Data Size The data size of the communication setup..
This will be permanent on RAW TCP mode but considered as a “initialization” pa­rameter on TELNET RFC 2217 as it is more likely the computer virtual port will change it.
Parity The parity of the communication setup..
This will be permanent on RAW TCP mode but considered as a “initialization” pa­rameter on TELNET RFC 2217 as it is more likely the computer virtual port will change it.
Stop Bit(s) The stop bit of the communication setup..
This will be permanent on RAW TCP mode but considered as a “initialization” pa­rameter on TELNET RFC 2217 as it is more likely the computer virtual port will change it.
HW Mode “Hardware Mode” represents the hardware behavior of the serial link. Available val-
ues are:
• HalfDuplex.
• Default value: FullDuplex with HardWare handshaking.
• FullDuplex with no handshaking.
This mode cannot be controlled remotely by RFC 2217.
When using the modem port for VCOM, the following must be considered:
• Modem serial port is normally owned by PPP.
• If an SMS transfer is in progress and a VCOM client tries to connect, the VCOM connection will fail.
• If a VCOM client is connected and an SMS must be sent, the SMS sending will fail.
• When an SMS transfer or a VCOM connection ends, the PPP is again the owner of the mo­dem serial port.

Depending on the permissions of the community the manager is based on, it will be able to read and/or write.
Traps can be sent based on 4 different triggers:
System On each power on, the Flexy 205 sends a “ColdStart” trap which identification, called
“Specific” is 0. After a manual reboot, the Flexy 205 sends an additional trap right before the “Cold­Start” trap which identification is 3.
BASIC scripting The Flexy 205 sends a trap using the SENDTRAP command.
Check the Programming Reference Guide from the Related Documents, p. 3 for con­tent specification.
Planner Based on a timer, the Flexy 205 uses the BASIC command SENDTRAP to send out
traps. Check the Planner, p. 37 for content specification.

7.4.1.3.2 PPP Dump
This configuration is volatile which means that the “dump.ppp” file will be cleared each time that the Flexy 205 is rebooted.
The “dump.ppp” file containing the logged data can be used in different cases:
• Sent as an attachment in an e-mail or by using the $dtPP Export Block Descriptor.
• Found in the FTP root directory, it can be downloaded locally or send to another FTP server.
• Opened and analyzed by using a tool dedicated in analyzing TCP frames.
Control Description
Clear log now The manual trigger to clear the “dump.ppp” file.
Log Incoming call Logs communications when the Flexy 205 is acting as a PPP server.
Log Outgoing call Logs communication when the Flexy 205 is acting as a PPP Client (connects to a
server).
Log Size (bytes) The number of bytes allocated to log PPP communications.
When the log is full, the logging process stops but the communication is still active. The maximum log size is 1MB.
Append to log If checked, the log will not be cleared between different connections and logs.
If unchecked, the log must be manually cleared by using the “Clear Log now” button.
Log following connections
Only the N next connections will be logged. The number of connections will be de­creased each time a new connection is logged. When the last connection has been logged, the counter will be set to -1 to prevent further connections to be logged. When the value of this counter is 0, all connections are logged. The counter can be set manually to -1, in order to suspend connection logging. If the log buffer must be released then the Log Incoming call and the Log Outgoing call options should be disabled. In case multiple connections should be logged, the “Append data” option should be checked.

7.4.2 Communication
This section Includes all the communication settings of the Flexy 205. These settings are sepa­rated from the “Main” settings and even stored separately to be able to format the Flexy 205 flash file system without affecting the communication settings.
The displayed interface might be different than the one described in this document as it depends on the hardware configuration of the Flexy 205.
7.4.2.1 General
This section allows the configuration of the local interfaces:
• The serial or MPI ports (if available).
• The Ethernet LAN (always present).
• The USB ports (if available).
7.4.2.1.1 Serial Ports
This panel allows the configuration of the hardware communication mode of the serial commu­nication port. It is shown only if a (or multiple) 2 serial ports extension card - FLA 3301 is plugged in the Flexy 205.
The physical COM port of the Flexy 205 can be configured as:
• An RS232 port.
• An RS485 port.
• An RS422 port.
The parameters of the COM ports are automatically adjusted.
Control Description
IO Port # (COM: #) The serial communication port for third-party device connection.
• RS232 Full Dup. Pol. OFF*: configured as RS232 port in Full-Duplex & polar­ization disabled.
• RX4XX Full Dup. Pol OFF*: configured as RS485/422 port in Full-Duplex & polarization disabled.
• RX4XX Half Dup. Pol OFF*: configured as RS485/422 port in Half-Duplex & polarization disabled.
• RX4XX Half Dup. Pol ON*: configured as RS485/422 port in Half-Duplex & polarization enabled.
• Don’t Setup: No configuration will be applied.
A “*” (star) behind an option means it must be configured manually using dip switch.
The serial port detection order is from upper left to bottom right. Following this path, it would render:
• IO Port 1: the serial port (named S1) of the most left extension card.
• IO Port 2: the serial port (named S2) of the most left extension card.
• IO Port 3: the serial port (named S1) of the most right extension card.
• IO Port 4: the serial port (named S2) of the most right extension card.
The port #1 of a FLA 3301 requires the port configuration to be done by dip switch. By doing so, the dip switch settings will overrule the software configuration.
Flexy 205 Reference Guide RG-0008-00-EN 1.1
Setup 47 (72)
The port #2 of a FLA 3301 is always in RS232.
If an extension cards of modem type (FLB 3204 / 3205 / ...) is available, a PPP port and an AT port field will appear. These ones can only be set to “Don’t setup”.
7.4.2.1.2 Eth1 LAN
This section may vary its content based on the fact if a WAN connection is available, (un)set up and/or (in)active. In the case there is, the default gateway and DNS settings are set inside the WAN interface.
Here is the list of parameters that will be added if there is no WAN interface detected:
• The “Default gateway” field from the “Address Setup” table.
• The whole “DNS Setup” table.
Address Setup
Control Description
Address Setup The method of IP addressing:
• Static: the manual configuration of all network parameters
• BootP: some parameters are already set by the BootP server.
• DHCP: all parameters are set automatically by the DHCP server.
IP address The IP address of the Flexy 205 on the LAN side. The IP address can only be
changed in the “Static” address setup mode.
Subnet mask The Ethernet subnet mask used to determine the address range of the LAN
connection.
Default gateway The IP address of the Ethernet server gateway used to forward information to other
networks.
DNS Setup
Control Description
DNS Setup If enabled, the DNS will take into consideration the following settings.
This field is shown only if the IP addressing method is set to DHCP. It is checked by default.
Primary DNS IP address The IP address of the primary Domain Name Server of the network.
Secondary DNS IP address
The IP address of the secondary Domain Name Server of the network.
DHCP Config
Control Description
Network Name On a DHCP network, devices can be reached by name instead of IP address.
Thanks to the DNS Synchronization (RFC 4702), this network name (also called Fully Qualified Domain Name, or FQDN) is sent to the DHCP server during DCHP request negotiation and will trigger an update of the DNS. The network name can only contains characters a-z,-,0-9. It is common to all net­work interface (LAN, WAN, Wi-Fi...). This field is shown only when the IP addressing method is DHCP.
Flexy 205 Reference Guide RG-0008-00-EN 1.1
Setup 48 (72)
BootP: TCP/IP Bootstrap Protocol
Forcing the Flexy 205 to ask its IP address to a BootP Server is possible. Only the IP address and network mask are given by the BootP server (this one must comply with the RFC-1048).
At each startup, the Flexy 205 will asks its IP address to the BootP Server.
If the Flexy 205 didn’t receive an IP address from the BootP server, a new attempt will be per­formed at increasing interval (1 minute interval max.) endlessly.
While waiting for its IP address, the Flexy 205 is in startup phase and thus is not reachable! Dur­ing this time, the USR LED will blink continuously with the following pattern: short red light + pause + long green light + pause
Fixing a BootP Error
Method 1 Push on the reset button will skip the BootP request so will it skip the duplicate IP
test. The Flexy 205 will then use the IP address which is configured in the Ethernet configuration page
Method 2 Perform a second level reset to force the Flexy 205 to come back to its default IP
address: 10.0.0.53. A second level reset erases all the configuration!
DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
When configured to use DHCP, the Flexy 205 gets all the IP parameters from the DHCP server.
At the end of the DHCP request, the USR LED will blink with the following pattern during 2 sec­onds: short green light + short pause
If the Flexy 205 doesn’t find any DHCP server, after 45 seconds, it will set:
• On the WAN interface: the IP address 169.254.0.53 with subnet mask 255.255.0.0.
• On the LAN interface: the IP address 169.254.1.53 with subnet mask 255.255.0.0
Fixing a DHCP Error
Method 1 Use eBuddy to set another IP address to the Flexy 205.
This action disables the DHCP mechanism and put the Flexy 205 in the “static” address setup mode.
7.4.2.1.3 USBIP

Setup 59 (72)
7.4.2.2.7 Callback
Callback setup
Control Description
Callback enabled If checked, the Flexy 205 callback feature is enabled.
It means that an external event can trigger the Flexy 205 to call a given phone number and establish a PPP link. This allows the call to be paid by the phone line of the Flexy 205, with its allocated budget. This also ensures more security if the callback is reaching a private server. Outgoing calls must be enabled in the dialup configuration.
Callback delay The time interval defining how long the Flexy 205 will wait before dialing out, once
it has been triggered. This is useful to release the phone line or perform any other action. Default value: 30.
Wait for user login for The time interval defining how long the Flexy 205 will wait for the user to log-in,
once it has been triggered. If there is no login, the call is dropped. This delay must be greater than the sum of the callback delay and the call establishment. Default value: 1200.
Dialup account The selection of the server used for callback. Possibilities are:
• User’s request account: cannot be chosen when the trigger mode is “Ring” as the Flexy 205 does not know the server data at that time.
• Primary dialup server (default value).
• Secondary dialup server.
Publish IP address The publication of the IP address once the Flexy 205 is connected to the Internet.
Callback mode The selection which type of callback should be triggered.
Both options are mutual exclusive from another.
• On RING: when the Flexy 205 receives an incoming call, it triggers its call­back task (under following conditions).
• On user’s request: the user can request a callback to a defined server as the Flexy 205 accepts the incoming calls.
Once set to “On user’s request”, the actions take place on the homepage of the web interface. The callback starts by using the “Callback” button and closes by using the “Close PPP Connection” button. The delay is the time interval respected by the Flexy 205 before initiating the callback. Specific callback parameters can be set per user in the “config.txt” file.
Number of RINGS The number of rings needed before the Flexy 205 callback function is triggered.
This number is always added by 2: assuming that a value of 3 has been inserted, the callback is triggered if someone calls and let the phone ring 5 times.
Plus number of RINGS then On Hook
The number of rings that are necessary to avoid the callback trigger. To call the Flexy 205 directly (without triggering the callback), it is the sum of both “Number of RINGS” and “Plus number of RINGS then On Hook” that is taken into consideration. For example: “Number of RINGS” is 3 and “Plus number of RINGS then On Hook” is 5, the user will need to wait 8 rings before the Flexy 205 picks up.
7.4.2.2.8 Routing
The changes apply in this section will be taken into consideration only on the next WAN connection.
Special rules
Control Description
Route all gateway traffic through VPN
If enabled, the Flexy 205 routes ALL gateway traffic (expect static routes) through the active VPN interface. If unchecked, the traffic could take the VPN route or the WAN route.
Flexy 205 Reference Guide RG-0008-00-EN 1.1
Setup 60 (72)
NATand TF (Transparent Forwarding)
Control Description
Apply NATand TF to connection
The possibility to enable the Network Address Translation (NAT) and Transparent Forwarding (TF). Possibilities to choose on which interfaces this NATand TF will be used are:
• on LAN (Plug’n Route)
• on VPN
• on WAN
• disabled
Enable transparent forwarding
Allows the transparent forwarding feature of the eWON. This field is shown only if the previous field is different from “disabled”.
Static routes table
Control Description
Destination & Mask The destination IP address and the mask represent a range of addresses that
must be routed through a specific gateway. For example: Destination =192.168.1.0 & Mask=255.255.255.0 correspond to the
range of addresses between 192.168.1.0 and 192.168.1.255.
Gateway The IP address of the gateway that must be used to route the range of addresses
defined by Destination/Mask. The gateway address must be accessible by the Flexy 205 meaning it must be in the IP range of the WAN or LAN interface.
Hops The number of hops to reach the destination using the given route.
This parameter will define the priority of the routes. The Flexy 205 local routes (routes that do not require the emission of a packet through an interface) have a 0 hop metric. A route where the destination can be reached through the interface has a 1 hop metric. The higher the metric is, the lower the route's priority will be.
Clear The possibility to erase and remove the route.
NAT 1:1
Control Description
NAT 1:1 If checked, the NAT 1:1 feature will publish one device (from the Flexy 205 LAN
network) to another network with a different IP address. The activation of this feature with an active Talk2M connection will enable the IP forwarding between WAN-LAN (which is not the default behavior). Modifications of this table are effective only on the next WAN connection.
Mapping The interface which will be used by the NAT 1:1.
Device IP (LAN) The LAN IP address used by the third-party device on the LAN side of the Flexy
205.
Mapped IP (WAN) The WAN IP address which will be used by the Flexy 205 to represent the same
third-party device on its WAN side.
Nickname The name given to this NAT 1:1 rule.
Clear The possibility to erase and remove the route.
7.4.2.2.9 Proxy
The “Proxy” is similar to the transparent forwarding but it would forward only some ports.
The main advantage of the proxy implementation is that the destination device of the proxy rule must not define the Flexy 205 as its gateway.
Flexy 205 Reference Guide RG-0008-00-EN 1.1
Setup 61 (72)
Proxy Configuration
Control Description
Proxy Configuration Enabled
If enabled, the proxy feature ill be active. The proxy operation can be switched on or off at any time without the need of a reboot. Any change in the configuration is applied as soon as the configuration is changed.
Idle connection timeout Each time a client opens a connection to the proxy, the connection is kept opened
until the client explicitly closes it or until this timeout is elapsed without data being transferred on the socket. This is required if a client is for example switched off while the connection is ac­tive, the connection will be dropped and the memory recovered after the timeout is elapsed.
Maximum connections per proxy entry
The maximum number of connections that can be opened at a given time on a proxy port for each proxy entry.
Proxy External Interface (EXT)
The interface concerned by the proxy rules. Possibilities are:
• WAN
• PPP incoming
• VPN
Protocol The type of protocol used by the proxy to the given server.
These protocols are handled differently and must be specified in the configuration. Possibilities are :
• Disabled
• UDP
• TCP
• FTP
Although FTP is TCP, it must be specified. The FTP proxy will work for passive and active connections.
If this field is set to “disabled” then the full proxy entry will be disabled.
Direction The proxy of the Flexy 205 is completely symmetric, it can work in both directions.
Possibilities are :
• Disabled
• EXT to LAN: the proxy transfers from the outside to a LAN device. For example: the user wants to proxy from the EXT to the LAN in order to ac­cess a device on the LAN that has not the Flexy 205as gateway.
• LAN to EXT: the proxy transfers from a LAN device to the outside. For example: a LAN device can also connect to a server on the EXT without having the Flexy 205 as gateway.
EXT to LAN or LAN to EXT are possible as long as the server has a fixed IP ad­dress that can be entered in the proxy configuration
If this field is set to “disabled” then the full proxy entry will be disabled.
Incoming port The port number listened by the Flexy 205.
For example: if the Flexy 205 must forward ports on a web server targeting port 80 and the client will connect to theFlexy 205 on port 8080 then the “incoming port” is 8080 and the “Destination port” is 80.
Destination port The Flexy 205 will connect to this port number when it receives a connection from
the proxy client. This port will be the server port on device with the “Destination IP address”.
Destination IP address The Flexy 205 will connect to this IP address belonging to a server when it re-
ceives a connection on its proxy port. If the “Destination IP address” is set to 0 then the full proxy entry will be disabled.

Setup 62 (72)
7.4.2.2.10 Security
WAN Protection
Control Description
WAN Protection level The level of protection on the WAN interface.
This indicates which protocols can go through the WAN connection. Possibilities are:
• Discard all traffic excepted VPN and initiated traffic (such as outgoing email or PUTFTP).
• Discard all traffic excepted VPN and initiated traffic and ICMP (Ping).
• Allow all traffic on WAN connection (no protection) (default value).
WAN IP Forwarding If disabled, the LAN traffic cannot be forwarded to the Ethernet WAN interface.
Default value: checked.
VPN Protection
Control Description
VPN Protection If enabled, all packets will be filtered and only the packets satisfying one of the 3
“Allowed Rules” will be transmitted to the destination.
Source IP The source IP address which is allowed to reach the LAN.
Only one IP address could be encoded. However there are special values:
• 0.0.0.0: disables the rule.
• 255.255.255.255: allows ALL source IP addresses.
Destination IP range start The start range of the destination IP addresses reachable.
There are special values:
• 0.0.0.0: replaces the LAN or VPN IP addresses of the Flexy 205.
• 255.255.255.255: allows any destination IP addresses.
Destination IP range end The end range of the destination IP addresses reachable.
Destination Port The ports allowed.
Multiple port values are separated by “,” (comma). There is a special value: 65535 to allow ALL ports.
If the Flexy 205 takes advantage of the Talk2M VPN connection, it is recommended to use the eCatcher build-in feature: Talk2M Firewall. This one eases the configuration of access per user.
Transparent Forwarding
Control Description
Require authentication If checked, the Flexy 205 accepts only to forward packets coming from the user
who initiated the communication.
7.4.2.2.11 IP Services
This section allows the redefinition of the standard ports used by the Flexy 205.
The modification will be effective only after a reboot.
HTTP Web server
Control Description
Primary HTTP port Allows the redefinition of the primary TCP port of the Flexy 205.
Default value: 80.
Secondary HTTP port Allows the redefinition of the secondary TCP port of the Flexy 205.
This port is never forwarded when “Transparent Forwarding” is enabled. This port is used to reach the web interface of the Flexy 205. Default value: 81.
Flexy 205 Reference Guide RG-0008-00-EN 1.1
Setup 63 (72)
FTP Server
Control Description
TCP command Port Allows the redefinition of the TCP command port from the FTP server of the Flexy
205.
Default value: 21.
7.4.2.3 Manage Config
7.4.2.3.1 Security
Sensitive data protection
Control Description
Encrypt sensitive data If enabled, sensitive data will be encrypted (passwords, PIN code).
Fields value will appear as dots in the setup pages of the web interface. Password values are encrypted in configuration files. If unchecked, sensitive data are readable (setup pages and configuration files).
eBuddy security
Control Description
eBuddy needs authentication
If checked, an IP address change request from eBuddy is authorized only with user authentication. The user will need the “Change Configuration” permission activated.
7.4.2.3.2 Default Config
Using this menu, the Flexy 205 can return to its default (factory) communication configuration. This doesn’t modify anything else in the other configurations such as tags, users, script... All communication settings will be reset, only the LAN IP address will remain unchanged.
This option requires a reboot of the Flexy 205 (software or hardware).
This COM configuration is saved in a special flash file system which means that a level 1 reset of the Flexy 205 doesn’t erase this configuration. Formatting the Flexy 205 is made possible while ensuring that the communication will still be active afterwards.
7.4.3 Storage
This section is used to set up how the memory resources from the Flexy 205 must be used.
The Flexy 205 stores configuration and recorded data in its flash memory. Its flash memory is divided into areas of different sizes that can be erased and reformatted individually during a par­titioning operation.
Model Physical Flash Size User Memory
Flexy 205 128 MB 35 MB
7.4.3.1 Memory Settings
The selection of a particular partition depends on the specific needs of the application.
Changing the current attribution implies formatting the available space. This means that all data except the communication settings will be erased.
The current configuration is displayed in red.
As long as the Flexy 205 hasn’t been rebooted, the previous configuration remains applied. After the reboot, the new desired configuration is active.
Flexy 205 Reference Guide RG-0008-00-EN 1.1
Setup 64 (72)
Flash Memory zone Circular Description
/usr size No This partition uses a different file system, allowing the creation of a
larger number of files and the use of a larger total flash memory. This file system is also very robust in case of power lost during the time when operations are performed on the files. This partition can be used through the FTP server, custom web pa­ges or using the BASIC scripts of the Flexy 205.
Recording size Yes This partition contains circular data:
• Events logging
• Alarm history logging
Each of those files receives a predefined maximum amount of memory size. When the space is full then the older data is erased to free some for the new data.
Number of events Yes The maximum records of the “Event log”.
Number of alarms hist. Yes The maximum records of the “Alarm history”.
The circular type of files has 2 sizes: a standard size and a maximum size. When the maximum size is reached, the oldest 64K of data are erased and the new data starts to be written. This means that the actual size of data that has to be considered for a circular file is the standard size because the maximum size is not permanent.
Formatting the flash file system means erasing all the data in these files.
Other Storage Partitions
Flash Memory zone Size Circular Description
System Config (except COM config)
256 KB No The system configuration contains:
• System setup
• Pages setup
• IO Servers setup
• Tags setup
• Users setup
Program 128 KB No The (BASIC) script program.
Communication Config
64 KB No The communication configuration regroups all the configu-
ration information that appears in the “ComCfg.txt” file. The communication configuration needs to be saved in a distinct block in order to allow the Flexy 205 to format any other data without risking to loose contact with the device (Ethernet IP address, PPP configuration etc.). This configuration uses a fixed memory size and is stored with a special mechanism that prevents loosing the config­uration even if the power is suddenly lost during the config­uration update. The only risk is to loose the last modification made after last save occurred.
Retentive values 64 KB No A fixed flash memory block that contains the retentive
values. Each time a retentive value changes, a record is written in the flash memory. The record is 12 bytes long. This file is also erased when the flash file system is format­ted. The flash memory can be erased/written minimum 100K times. Each time a retentive value is written, its record is read back and content is verified. In case of error, the error code 20517 – “Write retentive failed” is generated. It indicates that the flash memory is probably dead. The dimension of that block does not need to be modified.

Erase Events file If checked, it will result in erasing the text format “events.txt” file that contains the
history of all of the (maximum) 762 last events that have been logged in the Flexy
205.
Erase Alarms History file
If checked, it will result in erasing the text format “hst_alm.txt” file that contains the history of the alarms for the tags defined in the Flexy 205.
Clear scheduled action
Control Description
Clear pending actions If checked, it will result in erasing the actions from the “sstat.htm” file that are com-
pleted (successfully or not). “sstat.htm” is a virtual file which means that its information are stored in the volatile memory of the Flexy 205. Clearing this file does not impact the memory file system.

Appendix A: SMS Recipient(s) Syntax 67 (72)
A SMS Recipient(s) Syntax
The Flexy 205 is capable of sending SMS to multiple contacts when tag alarms, BASIC script­ing, ... trigger the event. The configuration of such contacts must respect a defined syntax.
To reach an SMS recipient, an SMS server must be called and the correct protocol must be used. The server phone number depends on the network operator and the protocol used will be one of the 2 standard “UCP” or “TAP” protocol.
To introduce a pause in the number composition, the “+” (plus) should be used in the number.
The Flexy 205 uses the character encoding “GSM 03.38” to send out SMS.
A table with the SMS protocols and server phone numbers is available on www.ewon.biz/
support.
Special case for users from France:
As “UCP” and “TAP” server is not available in France, the InfoZ protocol is available for devices embedding an analog modem. In that case, the server phone number is 0. If a number has to be dialed to access the network, it can be entered before the 0.
Example:
• If 9 must be dialed to leave PABX the syntax is: 0407886633,ifz,90
• If a pause is required to leave the PABX, the syntax is: 0407886633,ifz,9+0
A.1 Syntax
The syntax of the recipients must respect the following syntax:
DDDD,TTT,MMM[,PPP]
Label Values Description
DDDD The destination phone
number
TTT The protocol type. It must be one of the followings:
ucp
It is possible to add a word datasize and parity specification. The generic syntax is ucpDP:
• D (datasize) is 8 or 7.
• P (parity) is n for none, o for odd or e for even.
Default value: ucp8n
tap
It is possible to add a word datasize and parity specification. The generic syntax is tapDP:
• D (datasize) is 8 or 7.
• P (parity) is n for none, o for odd or e for even.
Default value: tap8n
gsm
ifz
MMM The server phone
number.
The length is 40 characters maximum. For more information, please check with the local network provider. If the previous field “TTT” is “GSM” or “IFZ”, the server must be set to 0.
PPP The password that is
sometimes required by the network provider.
The length is 30 characters maximum.
Flexy 205 Reference Guide RG-0008-00-EN 1.1
Appendix A: SMS Recipient(s) Syntax 68 (72)
Passwords are case sensitive.
When defining a phone number with a modem the “,” (comma) is often used to insert a pause during the dialing operation. As the Flexy 205 uses the coma as a separator, the pause dial sign is replaced by a “+” (plus).
For example: 0+0407886633 would dial a 0, then insert a 1 second pause, then dial 0407...
The GSM protocol attribute can be used to send the SMS directly through the GSM network without using an SMS server. In this case, a server wouldn’t even be needed. This is valid only if the Flexy 205 embeds a GSM or GPRS modem.
Examples of Sending SMS
0407886633,uc­p,0475161622,proximus
The UCP protocol requires the use of a password. In this case, the password is “proximus”. See in the above table for the word datasize and parity specification
0407886633,ta­p,0475161621
The TAP protocol does not require to enter a password. See in the above table for the word datasize and parity specification
0407886633,gsm,0 This syntax should be exclusively used to send an SMS from a Flexy 205 that
embeds a GSM modem (TAP or UCP protocols should not be considered).
0407886633,ifz,0 The syntax to send an SMS from a PSTN modem in France.
0495112233,gs­m,0;0495445566,gsm,0
The syntax to send multiple SMS.
Benelux only: SEMASCRIPT
It is possible to send Semascript / SemaDigit to a Semaphone inside of the Benelux area by us­ing the Belgacom server.
If a user wants to send a semadigit to number 0498373101... He must call the server at phone number 0458500001 (0+0458500001 if the first dial is 0 and wait for a pause).
Only the last 7 digits of the semaphone destination number should be kept and the TAP protocol with “7e1” must be used:
• “Normal” statement: sendsms "8373101,tap7e1,0458500001","0498373101"
• If the Flexy 205 is behind a PABX and 0 must be dialed first use: sendsms
"8373101,tap7e1,0+0458500001","0498373101"
France only: ALPHAPAGE
It is possible to send ALPHAPAGE messages to ALPHAPAGE pagers in France by using the “emessage” server (http://www.emessage.de/en/index.html).
The used protocol is TAP. The operating mode is the same as for SEMASCRIPT:
If a user wants to send an ALPHAPAGE message to number 0612345678... He must call the server at phone number 0836601212 (0+0836601212 if you must first dial a 0 and wait a pause)
Only the last 7 digits of the alphapage destination number should be kept and TAP protocol with “7e” must be used:
• “Normal” statement: sendms "2345678,tap7e,0836601212"
• If the Flexy 205 is behind a PABX and 0 must be dialed first use: sendms "2345678,tap7e,0
+0836601212"

Appendix A: SMS Recipient(s) Syntax 69 (72)
A.1.1 Message Service Center
In some situations, the message service center must be specified in a GSM modem. To send out an SMS, the modem will send the message to the short message service center (SMSC) of the operator. The Service Center address (dial number) is normally automatically detected by the modem.
If needed, the Message Service Center address can be forced using the following syntax:
phone number,gsm,message service centre number
For example: "0407886633,gsm,0" would become "0407886633,gsm,0032123456789" where “0032123456789” is the address (dial number) of the Service Center.
Do not use the “+” (plus) prefix syntax for the Service Center address. The Flexy 205 will replace the “+” (plus) sign by a “,” (comma) sign and thus will fail. Instead, "0032123456789" should be used.
