POSSIBLE CAUSES / ANSWER

To work-around the problem you have to change a modem setting using a specific AT command.

To do so, connect your Flexy Web Interface and go to the section "Setup > System >Communication > Internet Connection >Modem > Interface".

Select "Show advanced configuration".

 

Set the AT command "AT#ISMSCFG=0" in the init string field and click "Update".
A reboot of the modem is needed to apply the configuration.   For this, simply click the button "Reset Modem" at the top right of the page, let it run 2-3 min (so that the AT command is sent to the modem) and finally perform a reboot of the Ewon.
