This instruction covers updating the Tag Values list in the Ewon. 

 

For small updates to the Tag List it is possible to do it through the GUI. For larger updates it is recommended to upload an updated Tag List via an FTP client overwriting the old in order to make many changes at once.

Download and install an FTP client. In these examples Filezilla is the client being used.
