Table 21: Description event protocol ....................... 32 Introduction The IP-EFOY-GATEWAY serves for remote control of a single SFC EFOY PRO fuel cell over the TCP/IP protocol. At this the entire fuel cell parameter defined by the SFC EFOY PRO technical data sheet are readout continu- ously over the RS232 interface.

As a start please follow the following steps to set up the network configuration properly. The IP-EFOY- GATEWAY's default IP-Address is “192.168.96.210”. Use your browser on initial installation or after a default reset to access IP-EFOY-GATEWAY's web server. First you have to set up network settings to be conform with your local network.
Open the browser and enter the default IP address of the IP-EFOY-GATEWAY (see Figure 7). Figure 6: Login IP-EFOY-GATEWAY website Choose menu item “IP” on the left of the website and enter the default login and password com- bination (see Figure 6 - Default user name: “admin” and default password: “00000”) Afterwards choose new static IP-Configuration for your given network (see Figure 7).

10.10 Email Notification Service From firmware versions v0.6.1 on, the IP-EFOY-GATEWAY supports an email notification service to deliver EFOY PRO events and warnings to an email address. From now on service personnel get real-time email fault reports on their smart phone or email account. The service is set up the easy way over the website menu “Notification”...
In the following 21 the email notification configuration is described. Field name Description Option Notification Enabled Enables the email notification service mandatory SMTP Server SMTP server used for email delivery. Please consult mandatory your administrator or email provider. Port Port number of the SMTP server. Please consult your mandatory administrator or email provider.
Figure 27 depicts all fetched fault report emails in the area marked with „1“. Area „2“ shows the delivered IP-EFOY-GATEWAY emails with the fault report in more detail. 22 illustrates the email fields and the single rows of the fault report. Email subject: IP-EFOY-GATEWAY ALERT.
Remote control over a command line interface is also possible. Figure 26 depicts the opportunity how to establish a remote connection to the IP-EFOY-GATEWAY over terminal software like Hyper term, Tera term. To use this option, a service (TCP Service Port) has to be started first over the web interface.
IP address and of course all products deployed by Ingenieurbüro Piwek. If an EFOY PRO is in error state, or running out of methanol, the IP-EFOY-GATEWAY on the tactical map lights up red. The operator is now able to react very quickly within few minutes.
Also, on the tactical map, the IP-EFOY-GATEWAY icon will light up and show the error. By doing so, our per- sonnel can see which fuel cell is in error, what the cause is and what equipment is depending on the fuel cell.
SNMP EFOY PRO Fuel Cell Remote Control Due to SNMP V2C network protocol support of the IP-EFOY-GATEWAY, the system is capable of providing a given set of variables called OIDs, reflecting the EFOY PRO fuel cell's state, to the customers network man- agement system.
