3 Access to the Ewon Cosy+
In this section, we will explain how to configure your Ewon Cosy+ using the eCatcher Easy Setup
going through these steps:
1. Step 1: Register your Ewon Cosy+ to a Talk2M account.
2. Step 2: Prepare the communication configuration file to be transferred to your Ewon Cosy+
3. Access the web interface of the Ewon Cosy+ to begin its configuration.
3.1 Step 1: Create your Ewon Cosy+ in Talk2M
The first step consists in listing your Ewon Cosy+ inside your Talk2M account using the eCatcher
software.
If you already created your Ewon Cosy+ in your Talk2M account, through eCatcher, you can skip this step
and go to the next step.
To create your Ewon Cosy+ in Talk2M, apply the following procedure:
1. Connect your computer to the Internet.
2. Verify that you have an Internet connection.
For example: open your web browser and browse to your favorite web page.
3. Open eCatcher and log in to your Talk2M account.
If you don’t have a Talk2M account, click on the Create a Free+ account link. You can watch
the video tutorial “Create a Talk2M Account” available on the Ewon elearning platform as a
step-by-step guide.

5. Enter the name of your Ewon Cosy+.
The Talk2M server displays this name to identify the remote connection to your Ewon Cosy+
6. Select the Connection Type to specify how your Ewon Cosy+ connects to the Talk2M server.
You can choose between two possibilities:
– Permanent: for Ethernet, Wi-Fi or cellular models. Your Ewon Cosy+ stays permanently
online.
– Triggered: only for cellular models. Your Ewon Cosy+ is offline (but still functional) until
you wake it up with an SMS.
If you specify a triggered connection, then eCatcher asks for the phone number of your
Ewon Cosy+. The phone number allows Talk2M to send an SMS which wakes up your
Ewon Cosy+.

3.2 Step 2: Prepare the Configuration File

eCatcher (as of v6.4).

eCatcher offers the possibility to create a commissioning file which includes all the configuration
parameters useful to configure such connections.
eCatcher stores the commissioning file on an SD card or a USB flash drive. You can then insert
the SD card or USB flash drive in your Ewon Cosy+ which automatically applies the configuration
parameters available on the SD card / USB flash drive.
To apply the following configuration, your Ewon Cosy+ must run (minimum) Ewon Cosy+
firmware version 13.2s0 for the USB drive and 11.0s0 for the SD card.
If you decide to use a USB flash drive combined with a Ewon Flexy, you need the Flexy USB extension
card: FLB 3601.
Once eCatcher displays the “Talk2M Connectivity” frame, apply the following procedure:
1. Insert an SD card or USB flash drive in your computer. Make sure the card or the key is of
FAT32 format.
2. Click the Launch Setup Wizard button of the USB / SD Card first row.
3. Select the WAN interface of your Ewon Cosy+.
4. Depending on the interface you choose, different configuration fields are required:
– Ethernet: WAN IP settings.
– Wi-Fi: SSID settings.
– Cellular: SIM card and APN settings.
For Ethernet and Wi-Fi, make sure to complete the advanced settings if necessary.
5. Click Next.
6. Set the LAN IP address of your Ewon Cosy+.
7. Click Next.
8. Select the location where eCatcher should export the file.
9. Click Save twice to confirm the export.
The last screen is an explanation how to proceed with the SD card / USB flash drive and your
Ewon Cosy+. You can also follow Step 3: Apply the Configuration File, p. 8.
3.3 Step 3: Apply the Configuration File
The following configuration works only if your Ewon Cosy+ hasn’t been registered on
Talk2M (or is not currently linked to a Talk2M account).
To configure your Ewon Cosy+ for remote access, apply the following procedure:
