1.1 About This Document
This document presents the features of the eWON Cosy 131 and explains briefly the steps to
take to get a functional Cosy 131.
For additional related documentation and file downloads, please visit www.ewon.biz/support.
2 Requirements
2.1 Hardware
This guide presents the features of the Cosy 131 which is used for remote access your devices.
2.2 Software
The Cosy 131 is configured through its web interface which is accessible with any modern web
browser. The recommended platforms are:
• Firefox 15 and higher.
• Chrome 16 and higher.
• Safari 11 and higher.
• Edge 13 and higher.
eBuddy
The companion tool eBuddy assists with initial IP address configuration for the Cosy 131 and
with maintenance tasks such as upgrading firmware, creating/restoring backups...
Download eBuddy.
eCatcher
The companion tool eCatcher is required if the Cosy 131 will connect to the Talk2M
infrastructure; It also allows to create and setup a Talk2M account.
Download eCatcher.
The first communication with the Cosy 131 can be established using the companion tool
eBuddy (check Software, p. 4 for more details about eBuddy).
1. Connect the port labeled LAN (port #1) of the Cosy 131.
This can be done either to the computer point-to-point or through a network if the default IP
of the Cosy 131 which is 10.0.0.53 will not conflict with another connected device.
The application scans through the Ethernet adapter network and identifies the connected
eWON devices displaying the IP address, subnet mask and serial number.
The utility also allows the modification of the default IP address without necessarily being
in the same network range.
5. Indicate the serial number of the Cosy 131 to be modified. Click Next.
6. Enter the new IP address and its subnet mask. By clicking Next, eBuddy sends the
commands to the Cosy 131 to change its IP address and to reboot.
7. Once the reboot completes, the Cosy 131 will be accessible at its new IP address.
While the computer is connected to a LAN port of the Cosy 131, open an Internet browser and
enter the LAN IP address of the Cosy 131 into the address field. If the computer is not in the
same network address range as the Cosy 131, its web pages can be reached using the “EZ
DHCP” feature of the eBuddy utility. For more information, refer to.eBuddy from the Related
Documents, p. 3
Before beginning the configuration of the Cosy 131, authentication is required. The default login
and password are both “adm”.
The password can be changed through the System Wizard described below.
At the first boot of the Cosy 131 or after a reset level 2 and after successfully logging in, a
prompt will appear to set the interface language.
After the interface language is selected, a configuration wizard is proposed to permit a quick
configuration of the system and communication settings of the Cosy 131. On later connections,
the configuration wizard is accessible through the Wizards button in the upper right corner.
The Quick launch wizard will guide you through the different setup wizards to configure your
Cosy for remote connection trough Talk2M:
• The System Wizard configures basic system settings such as the date & time and the
default username & password.
• The Internet Wizard configures the WAN communication settings for the Cosy 131.
• The Talk2M Wizard establish a VPN between the Cosy 131 and the Talk2M infrastructure.
On the first screen of the System Wizard, enter the eWON name.
For security reasons, it is required to change the default password for the adm user.
The third screen of the System Wizard shows the standard attribution of the four port Ethernet
switch of the Cosy 131.
The ports #1, #2, #3, will be dedicated to LAN local access network and port #4 will be
dedicated WAN Internet access network.
Once the wizard completes successfully, the Cosy 131 is connected to the primary WAN
network.
Once the wizard completes successfully, the Cosy 131 is connected to the Cellular WAN
network.
This Wizard connects to the Talk2M server and retrieve the VPN settings for the Cosy 131
linked to your account. The Wizard also check UDP and TCP connection to find the best
suitable option for this eWON. If the wizard completes successfully, the Cosy 131 is now
configured for Remote Access through Talk2M. If the wizard fails, the Diagnostic and Setup, p.
26 section will give additional troubleshooting information.
5 Home Section
The Summary page or home section, shows at a glance information about the health and status
of the Cosy 131. Its current Internet connection and VPN connection status, date and time, and
firmware versions are all displayed

Start now eCatcher to connect your Cosy 131 remotely. Alternatively, you can also use
eCatcherMobile or M2Web.
eCatcher Mobile:
It is the app version to be installed on your mobile devices running under Apple iOS or Google
Android. It is used to initialize secure remote access and allows you to use mobile applications.

7 DI Config Wizard
This option is not part of the Quick Launch Wizard, so it is only available by clicking on the DI
Config wizard. Moreover, the DI physical connection need to be wired to be used as a function.
Fig. 21 DI Wizard
The DI Config Wizard: Select the option(s) by simply checking the Enable checkbox.
• The SMS notifications; enter the phone number, and body of the message accordingly;
then a notification will be sent when the Digital Input switch on a high state.
• The Email notification enter the recipient, subject, and body of the message; then a
notification will be sent when the Digital Input switch on a high state
Click Next to test and apply the Digital Input connection settings.
If the Digital Input is on a high state at boot time; then a notification is sent out once the Cosy
131 is connected to Talk2M and a prefix “(BOOT)” is added to your messages
SMS and email notifications even on a Cosy 131 WiFi and ethernet, are sent via
T2M relays, but it does force the Cosy 131 to have a T2M connectivity and charges
will apply for every SMS sent.
8 Wan fallback
The WAN fallback , is an alternative option that allows the eWON Cosy 131 to switch between
networks automatically when the primary WAN network interface fails.
To configure the WAN fallback feature on the Cosy 131, the Internet wizard needs to be re-
launch, then configure the Internet wizard once again. if the Cosy 131 detects a second WAN
interface; it will ask you if you want to configure a WAN Fallback interface.
In the case the primary WAN interface fails, the Cosy 131 will shift to the secondary WAN
interface 3 minutes after the connection problem appears, then it will stay on the secondary
WAN interface the fallback interface for 1 hour. After this hour the Cosy 131 will try to connect
back the primary WAN interface and if the does not succeed the Cosy 131 will go back to the
secondary WAN interface. For further information about Wan Fallback refer to Related
Documents, p. 3
Fig. 27
WAN fallback feature will appears only by clicking on the Internet Wizard. If the Quick Launch
Wizard is performed; the Internet Wizard will not offer the WAN fallback option
The Diagnostic menu, records significant system events on the Cosy 131 that can be used in
case of troubleshooting; such a logs are given one of three severity levels: Error, Warning or
Trace and color coded correspondingly
The Setup menu on the other hand offers an alternative approach to changes parameters such
as Language, Ethernet IP, and/ or reboot the Cosy 131
