Extension Cards

Order of the Extension Cards
The picture above shows an example of a configuration that would be OK mechanically and
power wise but would not be supported by the firmware.
During the boot process, the first 2 serial port extension cards are detected and both can be used.
In case of 2 single Ethernet cards, these 2 cards are also detected but the second single Ethernet
card is not supported by the firmware and so it cannot be used. The presence of this "ignored"
card in the Flexy 205 does not alter the operation of the Flexy 205 itself nor does it alter its
"accepted" extension cards.

Ethernet Extension Card - FLX 3101
By default and if there is no extension card available in the Flexy 205, the 4 Ethernet ports will
be distributed as:
•
Ports #1, #2 and #3 are set as LAN port.
•
Port #4 is set as a WAN port.
If a FLX 3101 (single Ethernet port) extension card is inserted, the Flexy 205 will automatically
switch all its ports to LAN leaving the Ethernet port of the extension card as the only WAN port
able to connect to the Internet.
This switch to 4 LAN ports occurs only when an FLX 3101 is inserted. This doesn't happen if a Wi-Fi (FLB
3271) or a 3G / 4G (FLB 3202 / 3203 / 3204 / 3205) extension cards are plugged-in.
