3 Access to the Ewon Cosy 131
In this section, we will explain the following actions:
1. Assign an IP address to your Ewon Cosy 131, different than the default IP address.
2. Register your Ewon Cosy 131 to a Talk2M account.
3. Access the web interface of the Ewon Cosy 131 to begin its configuration.
3.1 Assign an IP Address
You can establish the first communication with the Ewon Cosy 131 using the eBuddy application
(check Software, p. 4 for more details about eBuddy).
By default, the IP address of the Ewon Cosy 131 is set to 10.0.0.53 which in some circumstances
might need to be changed.
To change the IP address of the Ewon Cosy 131, proceed as follows:
1. Connect the port labeled as LAN (port #1) of the Ewon Cosy 131.
This can be done either point-to-point (computer <> Ewon Cosy 131) or through a network
if the default IP of the Cosy 131 will not conflict with another connected device.
2. Start the eBuddy application.
The application scans through the Ethernet adapter network, identifies the connected Ewon
devices and display their IP address, subnet mask and serial number.
eBuddy also allows the modification of the default IP address without necessarily being in
the same network range.
3. Optional: Highlight the row representing the device to be modified.
4. Click on the button Set IP from the top bar menu.
5. Indicate the serial number of the Ewon Cosy 131 that you want to modify.
►If you went through step #3, the serial number is provided automatically.
6. Click Next.
7. Enter the <new IP address> and its <subnet mask>.
→ By clicking Next, eBuddy sends the commands to the Ewon Cosy 131 to change its IP
address and to reboot.
8. Once the reboot completes, you can access the Ewon Cosy 131 using its new LAN IP address.
3.2 Talk2M Account Configuration
Talk2M offers a secured and easy way to set up a remote connection over the Internet.
To allow the remote access, you need to link the Ewon Cosy 131 to the Talk2M infrastructure,
more specifically to a Talk2M account.
To configure the Talk2M account:
