Troubleshooting 

6.1

 

No access to the configuration pages 

When the access to the configuration pages is not possible then different reasons are possible. 

1.

 

Network errors   
Are you sure that you use the right IP address for the F-Link? 

 

Try a ping to the IP address of the F-Link from the console of a PC in the same network (if ping 
is working in your network). When you get no answer from the F-Link then check your net-
work. 

2.

 

Proxy configuration errors 

 

It is possible that you use a Proxy server in your network for internet browsing. You must con-
figure the proxy settings of your PC that the local IP address of F-Link is bypassed / excluded 
by the proxy server. 

3.

 

Login fails / lost login values 

 

If you don’t know the username and password for the F-Link configuration page access any-
more, you can reset the F-Link. After the reset the administrator username and password are 
on the default values username: “admin” and password: “admin”. 

4.

 

No access by default IP 192.168.1.200   
If the F-Link was used before for connections with LAN connection type DHCP or STATIC the 
access over the default IP address 192.168.1.200  is not possible. Perform  a reset of F-Link 
without a connected network cable (see chapter 4.5). The default IP 192.168.1.200 is now ac-
tive again for a configuration by a direct LAN cable connection. 

5.

 

Configuration page disappears after set to WI-FI ON 

 

The F-Link possibly has automatically connected to an open Access Point. Remove the anten-
na, reset the device and repeat the WI-FI configuration. 
 

6.2

 

Old configuration page values 

Internet web browsers store data from web pages for offline mode and caches data to show web pag-
es faster. It is possible that not the actual data are displayed on a configuration page of F-Link. You can 
clear the offline and cached data of your browser normally over a menu entry of the browser. Restart 
the browser after you clear the offline and cached data and try again. 
 

6.3

 

F-Link LED status 

The different statuses of the LED’s from F-Link are described in the installation manual   
[F-Link Installation Manual, Order-Nr: 1018863]. 
 

6.4

 

No access to Frama FO2 backend server 

For a successful connection to the FramaOnline2, the following network configurations are required: 
 
Open firewall ports: 
53 

DNS 

443 

HTTPS 

 
Allow access to URL fo2.frama.com 
 
The IP address of the URL fo2.frama.com can be found either by using the ping command “ping 
fo2.frama.com” in a command line window (if ping is allowed in your network) or by a DNS lookup 
service in the internet.
