1 Introduction
This manual describes the configuration of the device F-Link for the operation with a Frama franking sys-
tem. To install the F-Link on a Frama franking system the installation manual shipped with the device
[F-Link Installation Manual, Order-Nr: 1018863] shall be used.
The F-Link can be configured via the configuration page. For configuration tasks an additional PC with
internet web browser is needed.
The F-Link configuration pages are supported by the following internet web browsers:
Mozilla Firefox 13.0 and newer
Microsoft Internet Explorer 9.0 and newer
Google Chrome 20.0 and newer
Apple Safari 5.1.7 and newer
This version of the configuration manual is based on the screenshots and features of firmware release
version F-Link 2-2-10 / Image 1-0-22.
2 Configuration
The F-Link can be connected either in wired or in wireless mode to an existing network. The F-Link is pre-
configured for wired operation in a LAN network with a DHCP server. In this case, normally no additional
configuration is required. During first connection to the Frama FO2 backend system the F-Link will be
configured (e.g. country code, language, time …) automatically. Thus the very first connection takes long-
er time than subsequent ones.
The following illustration gives an overview about the different modes and how they can be configured:

2.1 Wired operation
The F-Link supports operation with dynamic IP address assigned by a DHCP server or with a static IP ad-
dress configured via configuration page.
2.1.1 DHCP Mode
The factory default LAN connection type is DHCP (auto configuration). The F-Link can be connected to the
network with an active DHCP server as is described in the installation manual. After powering-up the F-
Link gets an IP address from the DHCP server in the LAN network.
In most cases no additional configuration is required and the F-Link operates with the franking system.
2.1.2 DHCP Mode with Proxy Server
If the internet connection is handled via proxy server, the proxy configuration has to be setup first.
For connecting to the configuration pages of the F-Link device, the dynamic assigned IP address has to be
known. Chapter 2.1.3 outlines, how this IP address can be identified.
The determined IP address can now be typed into the browsers address field to access the F-Link configu-
ration page. See Chapter 3 for further details.
2.1.3 Identifying the dynamic IP address of an F-Link device
Identifying this address can be done in several ways:
A) The IP address is shown as a part of the error message on the franking system.
If the F-Link device is not able to connect with the Frama FO2 server, a corresponding error mes-
sage will be displayed. Several messages show a hint for configuring of the F-Link. This hint in-
cludes the current IP address of the device!
B) The IP address can be find out by consulting a listing (e.g. arp table) which shows the assignments
between MAC and IP addresses inside a DHCP network. The MAC address of the F-Link can be
found at the sticker at the bottom of the device.
C) Finding the DHCP IP of the F-Link with the Frama F-Link IP Finder tool in your network.
Download the Frama F-Link IP Finder tool, which can be found at www.frama.com (down-
loads), to your PC (Only Windows operating systems like Windows XP, Windows 7 are supported)
Start the Frama F-Link IP Finder tool
Enter the MAC address of the F-Link, which can be found at the sticker at the bottom of the
device.
Press the Search button
The Frama F-Link IP Finder tool scans all IP addresses in your network. If an F-Link was found
with this MAC address an entry will be showed in the result list.
The F-Link configuration page can be opened now with the default internet web browser on
your PC by clicking on the IP address in the list

2.1.4 Static Mode
The F-Link device can operate with a static IP address. The factory default LAN connection type is DHCP
(auto configuration).
Remark!
If the F-Link was used with LAN connection type DHCP or STATIC before for connections,
the access to the F-Link configuration page by the default IP address 192.168.1.200 and a
direct LAN cable is only possible after a reset of F-Link.
Changing to a static IP address is done in following steps:
1. Connect the F-Link device directly with a LAN cable to a PC
(A cross-wired LAN cable is needed if the PC doesn’t support auto-MDIX).
2. Note the PC LAN network settings for later use.
Set the PC LAN network settings as follow:
IP address: 192.168.1.199
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
3. Turn on the F-Link and wait until the Ready LED of the F-Link is on.
4. Open internet web browser on PC.
5. Insert the F-Link default IP 192.168.1.200 into address field.
6. Login with username and password. (Default username: “admin” and password: “admin”).
7. Open configuration page LAN Settings.
8. Change LAN connection type to “STATIC (fixed IP)”.
