HMS Networks today announces a new set of features in the Talk2M®Easy Setup framework for Ewon®
products, targeting to make secure remote machine access connectivity even easier for machine builders
and end users.
Earlier in 2019, HMS Networks released Talk2M Easy Setup for the Ewon Cosy and Flexy products. Users
will now benefit from even easier and secure remote machine configuration, installation and connectivity
thanks to new features and enhancements in updated versions of two key software components in the
Talk2M Easy Setup framework:
- The new version of Connection Checker provides clear diagnostics and reports about the connection
status and performance between Ewon-connected machines in a factory and the Talk2M remote
access cloud service. Users are notified whether a successful connection has been established or not,
and any connectivity issue can be instantly located. Users also benefit from detailed information about
which parameters need to be changed to solve the connectivity problem. - The eCatcher Remote Access software has been updated to identify IP address conflicts, offering
auto-healing capabilities which have been developed by HMS based upon common internet
connectivity issues in the field. In addition, eCatcher now also includes a new security feature which
enables users to encrypt Talk2M Easy Setup configuration files including e.g. internet connectivity
settings.
“We want to make working life easier for our customers, and with the new features in Talk2M Easy Setup we
definitely achieve this objective”, says Marie-Luce Bodineau, Head of Ewon product management at HMS
Networks. “Factory networking and internet connectivity are getting more and more complex, and we
estimate that about 70% of remote access support cases relate to Internet connectivity issues. In this
context, the updated Talk2M Easy Setup tools will be key for our, offering an easy and secure path to
achieve successful remote configuration and connectivity in an easy way without the need for IT-skills.”
