Section 2 – Webserver Board Connection

2.1 – Connecting the Webserver Board to the Flex-2 Board

Note: Your machine or kit will come with the Webserver already connected to the Flex-2 Board. Section 2.1 is for reference only and is only needed in the event the Webserver is removed or needs to be replaced.
Prior to performing any work; turn off the machine and disconnect power to the machine by unplugging the power cord from the wall outlet or by turning off the circuit breaker being used by the machine. The Webserver connects to Flex-2 board through the expansion connector. In the event there are other optional daughter boards connected to the expansion connector make sure the Webserver is the “top” board in the stack of optional daughter boards. Use the four supplied spacers and mounting screws to securely mount the Webserver board.

2.2 – Connecting the Webserver to Linksys N300 Router

Connect a Cat 6 twisted pair ethernet cable from the Webserver board to any of the available “Ethernet” ports (1-4) of the Linksys N300 router. Then connect a Cat 6 twisted pair ethernet cable from your main router, provided by your internet service provider, to the yellow “Internet” port on the Linksys N300 router. Finally connect one end of the power adaptor cable to the power port and the other end to an available power outlet.

2.3 – Wrapping Up Installation

Plug the machine back into the wall outlet and turn on the machine.

Section 3 – Accessing the Machine Remotely

Note: The Webserver has been tested with several browsers (e.g. Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge) for compatibility. However, browsers are often updated and this sometimes causes problems for web connected devices. If you experience a problem please try a different browser.
It is easy to mix up WAN (Wide Area Network) with LAN (Local Area Network). Both have an IP address.
The Webserver’s LAN IP address is used internally at the location of the Webservers installation and by other computers and routers at that location.

The LAN is then connected through a router to a modem that connects to the Internet. The modem is normally provided by the ISP (Internet Service Provider), for example by Comcast or AT&T.
The modem is assigned a WAN IP address by the ISP. This WAN IP address is the address used to access the machine remotely. A WAN IP address can be static (meaning it does not change) or dynamic (meaning it always changes). A static WAN address is required for remote access of the Webserver. You need to contact your ISP to request a static WAN IP address. Some Internet Service Providers can setup their routers with the static IP or help the customer set their own router.

Step 1 – Find WAN IP address

Validate the static WAN IP address given by the ISP (Internet Service Provider) visiting https://whatismyipaddress.com/
Once validated, be sure to make a copy of the IP address displayed as this address will be used to access the machine remotely. This step must be done at the Webserver’s location.

Step 2 – Connect from a remote location

Open your web browser of choice and type the static WAN IP address from step 1 followed by a colon and then 80. See example below.
http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:80. The XXXs represent the static WAN IP address.

Step 3 – Logging In

Once Step 2 had been complete successfully the login page will appear. You will be asked to enter a password. The password used here is the same as the access code for the machine. By default all equipment is shipped out with an access code of 1234. This can be changed in the program menu of the machine. Once the code has been entered press the Submit button to acknowledge the entry.

Section 4 – Webpage Tab Descriptions

Note: Some of the screen shots shown below differ based on the model of the machine. The examples below are for the AC7914.

Section 4 – Webpage Tab Descriptions

Note: Some of the screen shots shown below differ based on the model of the machine. The examples below are for the AC7914.

Home Tab – Sales, Equipment Status, Time/Date, Last Transaction, and System Software are displayed in this Tab. These
values are updated dynamically by the Flex system, giving up to the minute information.

Audit Information Tab – Resettable and Non-Resettable Counters are displayed in this tab. The counters can be reset from this tab as well.

Configuration Tab – This tab allows the operator to send a new payout configuration, time, and date to the machine.

Network Settings Tab – This tab displays the IP Address, Network Mask, Gateway, DNS Server, and Port settings

Below is a list of additional US and Canada SMS accounts:
AT&T: 10digitphonenumber@txt.att.net
MetroPCS: 10digitphonenumber@mymetropcs.com
Sprint: 10digitphonenumber@messaging.sprintpcs.com
T-Mobile: 10digitphonenumber@tmomail.net
Verizon: 10digitphonenumber@vtext.com
Max is 64 characters per email. Below is an example:
Machine;000 Val;Fail/Ok C1;Fail/Ok C2;Fail/Ok C3;Fail/Ok C4;Fail/Ok Pt;Fail/Ok
Where: Val: Validator Status
C1,C2,C3, C4: Cassette Status Pt: Printer Status

Update: As of November 23, 2020 Yahoo is no longer supported by the Webserver. A gmail account is required in order to receive email updates from the machine.

The following information is needed from the email provider:

  • Email SMTP Server
  • Email authentication (S = TLS/SSL)
  • Email port number
    Important: Some providers need security settings be changed to allow alerts to be sent. Most providers have this information public and can be retrieved by making a simple search as such:

This search will give you SMTP server settings for the provider GMAIL. As seen below, all the information needed can be extracted for this provider

For example, Gmail requires the following security settings be changed: My Account -> Sign-in & Security -> Allow less secure Apps
Because there are several providers available, it is difficult to know all the different security settings required if any are needed. In the event alerts are not being sent, contact the email provider for assistance.

Section 5 – Troubleshooting Common Errors

Cannot access the Webserver’s LAN IP. There are several reasons this can occur; the following are a couple of steps to take:
Step1. Make sure the Webserver’s network connector LED1 or LED2 are on. If your network does not support (10/100), LED1 could be off, that’s OK. Green LED labeled 5V next to component U13_1 must be on, showing power to the Webserver.
Step2. LED Rx and Tx will be flashing, showing communication between the unit and the Webserver.
Step3. It is important that the LAN IP address selected for the Webserver does not match any other device IP address on the network or it will conflict.
Step4. At the time of release, the Webserver was tested with browsers Mozilla FireFox (25.0) and Google Chrome (30.0.1599), its recommended to upgrade if necessary.

Avoiding Network Issues

Perform this test to determine if the problem you are experiencing is network related or hardware related.
To bypass the local network, the Webserver can be connected straight to a laptop or PC. Simply connect a straight thru cable from the Webserver to the laptop or PC and open a web browser (Google Chrome or Mozilla FireFox) and type the IP Address (example: http://192.168.1.1). This step is performed in order isolate the hardware from the network. If you are able to connect then the issue you are experiencing is network related. If this step doesn’t open the Webserver’s page, you can try the following:
Step1. Open the software that shipped with the Webserver (IP Setup). Make sure that the Webserver is powered before proceeding. Once the software opens, the Webserver will appear under “Select a Unit”. The IP address will be displayed after the word “at”.
Step2. Use the IP Setup software to match the IP settings of the laptop. Make sure not to use the same IP address on either the laptop or the Webserver. Example: Laptop’s IP Address 192.168.1.1, then change Webserver’s IP Address to 192.168.1.2. The Network Mask, Gateway, and DNS can be the same. After changes have been done, click on the Set button to accept changes.
