# Ewon Cosy and Flexy 4G SIM cards, tested with ThingSIM

> Ewon remote-access routers let machine builders reach PLCs on customer sites through Talk2M. With a ThingSIM in a 4G Cosy+ or Flexy, the machine has its own connection and never needs the customer's network.

## Setting up a ThingSIM in the Ewon web interface and eBuddy, with Talk2M

The APN goes in **Setup → System → Communication → Networking → Internet Connection → Modem**.

1. Activate the SIM in the ThingSIM portal, then insert it in the Ewon's SIM slot.
2. Run the Internet Connection Wizard, or open the Modem page.
3. Set the country and provider to custom and enter the APN from the portal as the Access Point Name. Leave the PIN, username and password blank.
4. If it does not register, use Operator Selection to pick a UK network (O2, Vodafone, Three or EE).
5. Save and reboot the Ewon.
6. The Modem page's status section shows the network, connection type and signal, and the Ewon then appears online in Talk2M.

**Two SIMs:** Ewon 4G models take one SIM.

**Checking it works:** The Modem page's status section on the Ewon, and the device's online status in eCatcher or Talk2M.

## Questions

### Does a ThingSIM work in an Ewon Cosy+ 4G?

Yes. Insert the SIM, set the APN from the portal in the modem settings and the Ewon connects to Talk2M over mobile data.

### How much data does an Ewon use?

An idle Talk2M connection uses little, and remote sessions add more. Most machines fit in 250 MB or 1 GB a month; check usage in the portal and change plan if needed.

Suggested plan: 250 MB, UK 4-network, £1.20 a month per active SIM, ex VAT.
