3. PC requirements
3.1 Windows
Computers with Windows operating systems require a driver to be able to connect to the FX30. The driver must be installed before
connecting the PC to the FX30's Micro USB port.
The FX30 driver is available for download at www.deif.com/software/fx30_driver_package.
It is strongly recommended to disable the Sierra Wireless Mobile Broadband Network Adapter to avoid that the computer takes over
the data session.
3.2 macOS
Mac computers running macOS do not require any installation of drivers.
3.3 Linux
Computers with a Linux-based OS do not require any installation of drivers.
It is strongly recommended to uninstall the modemmanager to avoid that the computer takes over the data session when connected
to the FX30.

4. Setting up your first equipment
4.1 Overview
This chapter explains how to set up equipment. It uses an example of a generator with AGC-4 Mk II. This is connected using an
FX30 Modbus TCP gateway, or alternatively an eXware 703 gateway.
4.2 Gateway setup
The first step towards getting your equipment up and running is to configure the gateway.
4.2.1 FX30 setup
Connect FX30 to a PC
1. Turn on the FX30 and allow the LEDs to turn on.
2. Connect the microUSB cable to the FX30 and the computer.
3. Wait a few seconds until the network connection is established.
4. Open your browser and navigate to address http://192.168.2.2
Configure the FX30
Configuring the FX30 is easy. You only need to define network settings (on Modbus TCP) and operator's APN configuration.
QUICK START GUIDE 4189330025A EN Page 13 of 43

The web interface for the FX30 configuration.
Configure network settings
When using the FX30 Modbus TCP variant, it will be necessary to configure the network settings. This is necessary so that the FX30
is in the same network as the device that will be connected to Insight.
Remember to save your changes. You will be prompted to switch OFF the FX30 and turn it ON again to restart with the new network
settings. We recommended that you do this now.
Configure APN settings
The APN configuration is an important step without which no data sessions can be started.
Check the APN settings with your operator before proceeding.
QUICK START GUIDE 4189330025A EN Page 14 of 43

In some instances, the FX30 may automatically detect the APN, based on the operator.
If the data session is already connected, skip the rest of this section.
Click on the SIM Configuration tab and enter the APN settings.
Don't forget to Save before leaving the page.
If you know that the APN is correct but you cannot establish the connection, check the PC requirements (especially the network
interfaces). If necessary, contact your operator.
Finishing up
Hint: Keep the Insight FX30 Configuration page open in your browser as it will be handy during the next part.
The FX30 is now configured.
See Insight setup for the next step.
QUICK START GUIDE 4189330025A EN Page 15 of 43

4.2.2 eXware 703 setup
Connect the eXware 703 to PC
Connect an Ethernet network cable between the PC and ETH1 port on the eXware gateway.
You will have to set up your PC network interface to access IP address 192.168.0.1
Access the page https://192.168.0.1/machine_config with a browser to access the system settings of the eXware gateway.
You will get a warning that the connection is not private. This is because certificates are not present to guarantee an HTTPS
connection. It is safe to proceed despite the warnings from the browser.
Click on the Advanced button to expand and follow the link provided.
You can safely proceed to the address by clicking the link.
Enter the user name and password.
Default user settings
• Username: admin
• Password: admin
QUICK START GUIDE 4189330025A EN Page 16 of 43

Since the gateway will be permanently connected to the internet, it is important to change the password.
Configure the eXware 703
When the System Settings page opens, the landing page allows you to change the language.
Use language change with care (especially if you are not fluent in the selected language).
Configure network settings
Navigate to the Network page and press the Edit button to change the network interfaces configuration.
Default network configuration
ETH0 / WAN: DHCP
ETH1 / LAN: IP Address 192.168.0.1 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
After changing the network configuration, you will need to use the new IP address to access the System Settings page again. You
may also need to change the PC's network settings.
Enabling/disabling services on the eXware 703
During commissioning, it may be useful to enable some of the services that eXware provides.
For example, the SSH service can be used for troubleshooting and VNC can be used as an alternative to the web browser.
Navigate to the Services page.
QUICK START GUIDE 4189330025A EN Page 17 of 43

To enable or disable services, follow the steps:
• Select the service.
• Press Edit on the top-right corner.
• Change the settings, including the Enabled switch.
QUICK START GUIDE 4189330025A EN Page 18 of 43

• Finish by saving.
Once the gateway is ready for deployment, we strongly recommend that you to disable the SSH and VNC services.
