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.
