Product Summary
. Product Summary
The present Installation Guide describes the hardware of the Single Ethernet Extension Card
FLX 3101 of the eWON Flexy family
The eWON Flexy family is a range of modular industrial gateway/router
As the name eWON Flexy suggests, it has been designed to enable numerous different
combinations of Extension Cards and Base Units The present Installation Guide is focusing on
an extension card which, as such, needs to be inserted in one of the Base Units in order to
work The Base Units have their individual Installation Guide IG-014-0-EN “eWON Flexy - Base
Units” The present guide addresses shortly how the Extension Cards integrate the Base Units
and we give some recommendations to mount them (see § 3 6 Plugging the Extension Card
into the Base Unit)

3.6. Plugging the Extension Card into the Base Unit
3.6. . Base Unit Slot Compatibility
The Single Ethernet Extension Card (FLX 3101) can be inserted in all slots of the Base Unit
Explanation:
The Flexy Base Units feature two type of slots The A slots are the two first slots starting from
the left The B slots are the two last slots Some cards fit in A and B slots Some not Cards that
fit only one type of slot have a mechanical mistake-proof security
Page 9 / 15 eWON Flexy Single Ethernet Ext Card FLX3101 | IG 017

Chapter 3
Hardware Description
The reference code of the Extension Cards includes a letter that defines their compatibility
either with “A” slots, “B” slots or both:
•FLA xxxx - designates cards that fit into “A” slots
•FLB xxxx - designates cards that fit into “B” slots
•FLX xxxx - designates cards that fit into both “A” and “B” slots
In addition to the card reference, each type of extension card bears a visual compatibility
symbol on its front panel The visual symbols are shown in the table below:
●●○○ 2 first slots only (A)
●●●● In any slot (X)
○○●● 2 last slots only (B)
3.6.2. Extension Card Insertion
Please wait 30 seconds after powering off the equipment before inserting (or removing) an
extension card This is to avoid possible damage to the Base Unit and Extension Card
Remove the slot filler of the location where you want to insert the new card To do this, press
on both ends of the cover, note that the hooks (1) are out-centered like shown on the
pictures
Page 10 / 15 eWON Flexy Single Ethernet Ext Card FLX3101 | IG 017

Chapter 3
Hardware Description
Hooks to be pressed are off-centered – press while pulling upwards
Insert the Extension Card carefully and slide it down until the hooks are clicking Make sure
the card is completely inserted
3.6.3. Multiple Ethernet Extension Cards
The eWON Flexy firmware supports up to one Ethernet Extension Card of type FLX 3101
The boot process of the Base Unit includes an automated detection of the inserted
Extension Cards This detection is done sequentially, slot per slot starting from the left to
right Only the first detected Ethernet card (the most left one) will be taken into account by
the Flexy firmware
Additional cards of the same type will be ignored Contrary to slot-specific cards inserted in
a wrong slot, Ethernet cards in excess do not alter proper operation of the Base Unit and
other Extension Cards

Chapter 3
Hardware Description
3.6.4. Power Requirements
The internal power converter of the eWON Flexy Base units has been dimensioned to cover
a broad range of different combinations of Extension Cards Users should make sure the
total power demand of the Extension Cards does not exceed the capabilities of the Base
Unit That is why the notion of “Energy Points” has been introduced
The Installation Guide IG-014-0-EN “eWON Flexy - Base Units” includes a section giving the
Available Energy Points of each type of Base Unit
The power requirements of each Extension Card is expressed in Energy Demand Points. This
number is meant to check whether the balance with the Available Energy Points of a given Base
nit with Extension Cards is OK or not.
Ethernet Extension Card FLX 3101
Energy Demand Points 1
The Installation Guide IG-014-0-EN “eWON Flexy - Base nits” includes practical examples of power
balance calculations.

Powering On the Base Unit with its Extension Cards
4. Powering On the Base Unit with its Extension Cards
When the Base Unit is powered on, it takes approximately 25 seconds for the unit to go
through its self-test procedure The slots in which the extension cards have been inserted
and their type are detected during this process
If the boot process completes normally, you should observe the following LED status
•Base Unit USR flashing green slowly
•Extension Card LNK OFF (the ETH connection is disabled by default)

Check Card Detection on the Embedded Web
Page
5. Check Card Detection on the Embedded Web Page
The eWON Flexy Extension Card requires no software configuration It is automatically
detected by the Base Unit when it boots
5. . Connecting to the Embedded Web Server
Configure the network parameters of your configuration PC to encompass the IP range of
the eWON LAN
Connect the PC to one of the LAN port of the eWON Flexy
Open your Internet browser and access the eWON Flexy internal Web page by entering the
LAN IP address in the URL field (the default address is http://10 0 0 53)
The default
•login is adm
•password is adm
- Warning -
For security reasons, changing the default password adm is absolutely required.
To change the adm password, from the menu bar, click on Configuration, Users Setup and double
click on the adm entry to edit its parameters. Enter the new password twice and click Save.
5.2. Detected Cards Displayed in the System Page
The detected card appears in the eWON System hardware configuration page like shown
below
The path to the System hardware configuration page showing the cards detected by the
Base Unit is: Diagnostic (1) > Status (2) > System Info ( ) > System (4). The screen capture
below gives an example of an FLX 3101 extension card that has been detected in slot 1 (5)
