Proxy servers using SSL-interception require a specific rule in order to allow transparent communica-
tion (franking system via F-Link to FramaOnline2) via https port 443.  
 
The specific rule grants correct identification of FramaOnline2 (https certificate) for the franking sys-
tem.

Reset the configuration 

The configuration of the F-Link can be reset. Disconnect the LAN cable from F-Link. Press the RESET 
switch at the back of the device for a minimum of 10 seconds. After this process the F-Link restores the 
factory configuration (IP192.168.1.200) and all previous configuration settings will be lost. After the 
reset, the F-Link reboots and is ready to be reconfigured when the Ready LED is on again. 
 

6.6

 

Connecting F-Link to another franking system 

Interchange of F-Link from one to another Franking System requires the following points: 

 

same language 

 

same configuration in network 

 

same Franking System type 

Ignoring this may lead to wrong configuration settings and prevent the franking system from success-
ful connection to FramaOnline2. In such case we recommend to reset the F-Link. 
 

6.7

 

Supported special characters 

The F-Link does not support all kind of characters as values in the input fields on the configuration 
page. 
 
The following special characters can be used in all input fields:  

! # $ % ( ) * + - . / = ? @ [ ] ^ _ ` { | } ~
