Ensuring the Flex-Server is Online

Make sure that the Flex-Server is online, and then proceed with the deployment process.

To get the kit online, you need to make sure that the Flex-Server can be connected through the internet once the Flex-Server is powered up.

NOTICE
LOSS OF COMMUNICATION Carefully open the cover to ensure that antenna cables are not damaged. Make sure to connect antenna cables to the correct antenna port if they are disconnected. Take necessary precautions to avoid component damage from tools and electrostatic discharge. When handling the product or any conductive cable/ESD-sensitive component connected to the product, wear a conductive wrist strap connected to ground through a minimum of 1 MΩ resistance. Avoid touching exposed conductors and component leads with skin or clothing. Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

There are two ways to get the Flex-Server online, through GSM and through Wi-Fi:

Getting the Flex-Server online through GSM:
1. Open the Flex-Server screws and delicately remove the top cover.
  
  IMPORTANT: Take extra care during this step, as the top cover is connected to the antenna cable via a thin wire.
2. After opening the top cover, you will be able to see the top view of the board. Insert the active SIM card in the designated slot as shown in the image.
  
  NOTE: If SIM is PIN enabled, contact www.se.com/buildings.
3. While removing the top cover of the box, if the antenna wire becomes detached from the board, you can attach it again by following these steps:
  1. After opening the top cover, carefully inspect the top view of the board.
  2. Locate the connection point labelled MAIN as shown in the image below.
  3. Attach the antenna wire again to the MAIN connection point.
4. Once the SIM card is properly placed, fix the screws back and make sure that the antenna is still attached to the Flex-Server.
  
  NOTE: If the antenna gets removed then the GSM will not work.
5. After powering up the kit, allow the Flex-Server to boot up. This process may take up to five minutes. Once completed, the device should come online and be visible on the Deployment Portal page.
  
  NOTE: The connectivity depends on the network of the network provider being available in the location where the Flex-Server is currently in.
Getting the Flex-Server online through Wi-Fi:
1. To get the Flex-Server online, provide a hotspot to the device with the following credentials:
  - SSID: xxxxx
  - Password: xxxxxxxx
    
    NOTE: It may take up to five minutes to get online.
2. Once the Flex-Server is online, share the compute module and carrier board serial number with the commissioning engineer, so that he can initiate the provisioning process.
Getting the Flex-Server Online through Ethernet:

To get the Flex-Server online through an Ethernet network:
1. If the network uses a static IP configuration, enter the network's IP address, subnet, and gateway.
2. If the network uses DHCP, connect the cable. The Flex-Server will come online.
  
  NOTE: It may take up to five minutes to get online.
3. Share the compute module and carrier board serial number with the commissioning engineer to initiate the provisioning process.
NOTE: Fallback IP (169.254.x.x) should not be accepted (If the IP starts with this it means the DHCP server is not reachable).
