  • Page 65: Storage

    7.4.3 Storage This section is used to set up how the memory resources from the Flexy 205 must be used. The Flexy 205 stores configuration and recorded data in its flash memory. Its flash memory is divided into areas of different sizes that can be erased and reformatted individually during a par- titioning operation.
  • Page 66 “ComCfg.txt” file. The communication configuration needs to be saved in a distinct block in order to allow the Flexy 205 to format any other data without risking to loose contact with the device (Ethernet IP address, PPP configuration etc.).
  • Page 67 Control Description Erase config If checked, it will result in erasing the Flexy 205 configuration except for its commu- nication information (comcfg.txt). Clicking on “Execute” after having selected this checkbox will disconnect the user from his current Flexy 205 session.

  • Page 68: Reboot

  • Page 69: Asms Recipient(S) Syntax

    67 (72) SMS Recipient(s) Syntax The Flexy 205 is capable of sending SMS to multiple contacts when tag alarms, BASIC script- ing, ... trigger the event. The configuration of such contacts must respect a defined syntax. To reach an SMS recipient, an SMS server must be called and the correct protocol must be used.
  • Page 70 When defining a phone number with a modem the “,” (comma) is often used to insert a pause during the dialing operation. As the Flexy 205 uses the coma as a separator, the pause dial sign is replaced by a “+” (plus).

  • Page 71: Message Service Center

    Do not use the “+” (plus) prefix syntax for the Service Center address. The Flexy 205 will replace the “+” (plus) sign by a “,” (comma) sign and thus will fail. Instead, "0032123456789" should be used. Flexy 205 Reference Guide RG-0008-00-EN 1.1...
