Introduction Software description The IOLAN+ comes with the Chase CD. This CD contains the latest ‘released’ firmware and the redirector software for Unix systems called ioland. The firmware is a backup copy and generally not used. The ioland software is used for setting up printers and dial-out modems on Unix. The IOLAN+ uses TFTP for downloading new firmware. tftpd is included with Unix systems such as SCO, AIX and HP-UX but disabled by default. Consult your Unix manual on this subject.
IOLAN + - User and Administration Guide 1.
Installing your IOLAN+ IOLAN+ Installation 2 Below is a step-by-step guide on how to configure IOLAN+. You can also reference the IOLAN+ Quick Start Guide . First connect IOLAN+ to a network then begin configuring the unit for your application. Additional information on configuring modems and printers follows. 2.1 Connecting to your Network You connect to the network via one of three Ethernet media: 10BASE-T (twisted pair), 10BASE2 (thin) or the AUI connector. The connectors on IOLAN+ are auto sensing.
IOLAN + - User and Administration Guide The green indicators next to each Ethernet connector (or front for rack units) indicate which connector is active (default is 10BASE2). It remains lit and will blink when LAN traffic is active. Note: To change your Ethernet media, you will need to reboot the unit to activate the connector. You are now ready to begin communicating with your IOLAN+. You can connect to IOLAN+ different ways: via a terminal or PC on port 1, or using ARP or BOOTP.
Installing your IOLAN+ Here is the sequence to use: arp -s 205.17.209.8 00:80:D4:00:33:4e telnet 205.17.209.8 password> local> At the password prompt, just hit since this is not set yet. The IP address still needs to be configured on the unit (ARP has only allowed you to connect to the unit so far). Note: If there are any errors, recheck both the IP and Ethernet addresses you keyed in (this is the most common error here). See Troubleshooting & Maintenance (Appendix B) for more information on problems.
IOLAN + - User and Administration Guide The next prompt displayed is local>, which is the Command Line Interface (CLI) prompt. Note: If there are any problems, check the cable you are using (this is the most common error). Port 1 is configured to provide error messages should any problems occur. See Troubleshooting & Maintenance (Appendix B) for more information on problems. You can now move to The Menu System. 2.

IOLAN + - User and Administration Guide All of the procedures are based around the Port Setup Menu. This is accessed through the Administration Menu (password level). Remember, that if you are not in the password level, you can only view the information, not change it.
Installing your IOLAN+ Flow Control: Defines the various flow control options used by IOLAN+. This section is always used. IP Addresses: Deals with remote access via PPP/SLIP sessions. Options: Deals mainly with the telnet options. This section is the least used. Keys: Defines the various accelerator keys that IOLAN+ responds to and can be used for convenience. Access: Controls the type of the connection made from this port. This is the most important section in defining a port.
IOLAN + - User and Administration Guide Connecting via BOOTP (for Unix systems only) IOLAN+ supports BOOTP which allows the communications server to dynamically configure itself on startup. Upon startup IOLAN+ sends four BOOTP broadcast requests if it has no IP address. This broadcast request packet contains the Ethernet address of your unit. The request is received by all hosts on the network and is checked against a file to find a match.
Installing your IOLAN+ This allows the administrator to configure one IOLAN+, save its configuration and automatically configure subsequent units via bootp. Should the configuration of your IOLAN+ ever be corrupted because of user error or damage, it is an advantage to have the configuration stored somewhere for easy re-installation. This can be achieved by uploading the configuration of the unit to a host on the network. To do this, enter the Communications Server Menu from the Administration Menu.
IOLAN + - User and Administration Guide This uploads the communications server port configurations to the host in a format that can be downloaded at a later date. Note: This does not save any of the settings configured in the Communications Server Menu, including the IP address, language, name, subnet mask, etc. IOLAN+ will now automatically download this configuration on reboot.
Terminals on Multi-user Systems Terminals on Multi-user Systems 3 IOLAN+ is used extensively for connecting terminals, printers and modems on multi-user Unix systems, especially in retail. These Unix systems include SCO Unix, IBM AIX, HP-UX, Data General’s DG/UX, etc. This section deals with terminals and/or PCs using emulation packages (such as Hyperterm). For information on adding printers, modems or other devices, see the respective sections.

Terminals on Multi-user Systems Monitor DSR: You can set this field to Yes if you wire the terminal’s DTR signal pin 20 to the IOLAN+ DSR signal pin 6 (see Cabling Guide). When you turn the terminal off, it will reset the IOLAN+ port, which tells the Unix host to kill the user’s processes. 3.2 Host Table Setup In order for IOLAN+ to connect easily to machines on the network it must know the IP addresses of the other computers.
IOLAN + - User and Administration Guide 3.3 Making a Connection If you are using initiated connections, you will not see the IOLAN+ menus. Instead, you see the login prompt of the host you assigned in the host field of the Port Setup Menu. However, if your connection field is set to None, the Connections Menu appears. You are now ready to make connections. From the Connections Menu press the key on a *** FREE *** session to display the Commands menu. Select the Telnet field and press the key.
Terminals on Multi-user Systems Note: At this point, check the host table again for correct entries, then check the network connection and host machine you’re connecting to. While in session to the host machine, you can return to the communications server by using a hot key. This is userdefined, but defaults to ^]. Press this key and the Connections Menu is displayed. To resume your connection select the host session you were on (notice that the name of the host is now displayed where *** FREE *** was).
IOLAN + - User and Administration Guide 30 The TERM field The TERM field can be used to pass the terminal type information to the host. The terminal type field is local to the IOLAN+ but will be passed to the host. The TERM field can override the information being sent to the host about the type of terminal. This allows you to customise information being passed to the host. For example, a user could encode the physical location into this field (i.e.
Setting up Dial-in Modem Ports Setting up Dial-in Modem Ports 4 This section will review the configuration necessary to create dial-in connections. It will start with the most simple connection such as a dial-in Unix connection. The section then moves into setting up PPP ports which is how Windows® systems dial-in (as well as Unix). This is very important if you are an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or a corporate site providing remote access or Internet/Intranet access.
IOLAN + - User and Administration Guide The following fields are important: Monitor DCD: With this flag set to Yes, IOLAN+ will monitor Data Carrier Detect (DCD) - pin 8 - from the modem. As soon as your modem answers a call and establishes a carrier signal, the modem raises DCD. The terminal server will then establish a telnet/rlogin connection to a specified host. When the modem hangs up, DCD goes low and the terminal server port resets. This will also drop the connection to the host.
Setting up Dial-in Modem Ports Access: Set this field to Dynamic. This sets the port of the terminal server to listen for data on both the RS-232 side and the network side. If only used for dial-in, set to Local and it will only listen on the RS-232 side. Connection: With the connection set to Dedicated, the port will automatically connect to a specified host when not doing PPP (DCD goes high on the modem).

Your dialer script will have to parse out the My/Your addresses from the above message. ‘Your IP Address’ will be the address of the PC that is calling in, and ‘My IP Address’ can be the PC’s default gateway. The above procedure works for SLIP and PPP as well.
IOLAN + - User and Administration Guide 36 MOTD A Message of the Day (MOTD) can be displayed before login. This is setup from the Server Configuration menu using MOTD and Boot host fields. Gateway notes If you have a router on your local network, make sure you enter this into the IOLAN+ Gateway Menu.
Modem Authentication & Logging Modem Authentication & Logging 5 IOLAN+ provides authentication support to validate users connecting to the serial port, and can update a host log file on connection states. Authentication and logging is achieved by using a designated authentication host to validate users and keep connection information.
IOLAN + - User and Administration Guide 5.1 User Authentication/ Logging To improve access security, IOLAN+ has a mechanism for authenticating users before allowing them access. This is accomplished by prompting the user for a Login ID and a password. IOLAN+ will then attempt to login to a specified host using that ID and password. If successful, the user is authenticated and allowed access. Otherwise, the call is dropped.
Modem Authentication & Logging Authentication Port: The TCP service to be used for authenticating users. Normally this is set to 23 for Telnet. Login Prompt: The string used by IOLAN+ to know when to send the login ID. Set this field to ogin:. Leave out the first letter as some systems use a ‘L’ and others use a ‘l’ as the first letter. Password Prompt: The string used by IOLAN+ to know when to send the users password. Use ‘ssword’ as depicted above.
IOLAN + - User and Administration Guide Log Username: The User ID IOLAN+ will use to log in to the authentication host and log messages. This user needs to be at a shell prompt to ‘cat’ messages to the log file. The password for the log user is set up under the IOLAN+ Administration Menu Change option. Then choose the Logger option and enter the log user’s password as defined on the host. You will have to enter this password twice. (See 5.4 Tips.
Modem Authentication & Logging User services authentication This is used to provide services based upon the dial-in user’s name. For example, user Mark always telnets to a specific IP address or user Alan needs to dial-in and establish a PPP connection using a static IP address. This is accomplished by using a PERL script which parses a RADIUS database. The PERL script (RADparse) is on the Chase CD or our FTP site. RADIUS is the TCP/IP protocol used for authenticating remote dial-in users.
IOLAN + - User and Administration Guide # Everybody else gets PPP with a dynamic address DEFAULT Password Framed-Protocol = PPP Note: When using advanced authentication, make sure the Success Indication String in the Host Authentication And Logging menu is set to userdefined. 5.3 Logging A log file can be updated on the authentication host to record when an IOLAN+ is powered up, rebooted, and users and ports are connected and disconnected.

Dial-out Modem Ports Setup Dial-Out Modem Ports Setup 6 Dial-out ports can be just a simple Unix outbound cu call or IOLAN+ can act as a dial-out router to facilitate Internet PPP requests. As a dial-out router IOLAN+ automatically establishes a PPP/SLIP/CSLIP link to that site. Then drops the call after a preset period of inactivity. This dial-on-demand feature is automatic. IOLAN+ will place the call when local TCP/IP traffic needs to be routed to a configured remote site.
IOLAN + - User and Administration Guide The following fields are important: Access: Set the Access field to Dynamic (dial-in or out) or Remote (dial-out only). Monitor DCD: With this flag set to Yes, the terminal server will monitor the modem signal Data Carrier Detect (DCD) - pin 8. When the modem hangs up, pin DCD from the modem goes low and the terminal server port will reset. Flow Ctrl: The modem and terminal server port should be configured to use Hardware (RTS/CTS) flow control.
Dial-out Modem Ports Setup For dial-out connections on Windows® systems 6.3 Routing Check our FTP sites for the latest information on dial-out connections (under the Windows ® support directory). For dial-out routing, you must have the proper routing entry on all hosts in your local network that will communicate with the remote site.

This screen is used to define/setup the modem device. There are a lot of similarities between this screen and the UUCP devices file under Unix. It is possible to assign several ports the same device name, and the dialer daemon will automatically use the first available port.
Dial-out Modem Ports Setup The following fields are important: Type: The name of the modem assigned to a specific port. It is referenced from the Remote Access Systems Screen in the Device type field. Dst Address: The address of the remote system IOLAN+ is calling into. Config: The modem’s configuration string. There are a few examples at the end of this document. Note: Leave this field blank for directly connected devices.

PrintingPrinting7 There are three methods of printing from your IOLAN+: ioland, LPD, or RCP. ioland is the recommended method, however this will depend on your application and operating system. 7.1 Using ioland Configuration 1. ioland provides a pseudo TTY interface to Unix print spoolers (not available for Windows®). This software and the binaries associated with it are available from the Chase CD provided with the unit or from any of the Chase web sites. 2.
IOLAN + - User and Administration Guide The following fields are important: Flow ctrl: Set your IOLAN+ port flow control to Hardware. Then set your printer to use ‘DTR Pacing’ or ‘Hardware’ or ‘Ready/Busy’ flow control. Use the RS-232 cable pinout described below, as this will save a print job if the printer is turned off or the cable becomes detached. Refer to the Cabling Guide (Appendix C). Access: Set this field to Remote.
Printing Tips 7.2 Using LPD Hunt groups: Hunt groups are supported on IOLAN+ for printing. To use this, use the same number in the Port Setup local port field (i.e. 1006). IOLAN+ can be setup for receiving print jobs via LPD and this is a very simple method. It works for both Windows ® and Unix systems.
IOLAN + - User and Administration Guide Name: The LPD client, as a reference to the printer, will use what you assign here. This is the printer queue name on IOLAN+. Access: Set this field to Remote. This sets the port of the terminal server to listen for connections coming from the network. There will be an INETD process running on the terminal server that does the listening. You can check on the status of this process by looking at the NETSTAT screen of the terminal server’s STATS menu (or show net).
Printing 2. The name of the terminal server followed by a port number. For example if the queue name is server_name9 (or server_name09) then serial port 9 will receive the print job. Please note that in this example, the Name field in the Port Setup Menu need not be set. 3. The printer name as set in the Name field of the Port Setup Menu. More than one serial port may have the same name allowing the server to create a hunt group of printers.
IOLAN + - User and Administration Guide Under Windows® the printer will be available from within other applications via the File option of the Windows® menu bar. The actual printer will be referenced by the Name of the terminal server serial port or, by the terminal server and port number in the same way that Unix uses the Name. The server IP address should be included in the Host table before trying to setup the actual printer port.
Printing To overcome this the local host must perform all of the necessary changes and then send these to the terminal server. Defining a printer queue as in the previous examples can do this. If filtering or formatting is required then a local linking print queue needs to be created.
IOLAN + - User and Administration Guide If the lpsystem command is not performed, the lpadmin command will return an error indicating that the system named in the -s parameter does not exist even though the system is listed in the /etc/hosts file. Note: Although it is possible to create a printer pool on the IOLAN+, UNIX lpd queues only print one job at a time. The host will wait for one job to complete before spooling the second so all jobs will go to the same queue and print from the same IOLAN+ port.

IOLAN + - User and Administration Guide Local port: The Host The INETD process running on the terminal server for this port is listening for TCP/IP connections on TCP port 514 (this is the RCP service number). On systems where LPD or a binary for ioland is not available, or is found to be unreliable due to limitations in the OS, RCP provides a useful, if limited, alternative method for printing. The port/group of ports must be configured to listen to the RCP port, which is port 514.
Printing c. Find the interface shell script for this printer and copy it to a file with the suffix ‘.orig’. using the example: cp hpjet hpjet.orig d. Copy the Server RCP shell script from the TSSD support disk to the interface script, e.g: cp /etc/chase/src/chase.rcp hpjet Having created the hpjet file set the permissions to allow execution of the script, e.g: chmod a+x hpjet e. Edit the interface script and insert the desired server name and port number.
IOLAN + - User and Administration Guide RCP printing on a spooler system based on BSD Unix. Currently, the RCP printing utility will not work if the of filter is used in conjunction with any other filter. a. Log in as root and create a print queue for the printer with /dev/null as the device port.
Printing Then the line: rcp $TMP :tty becomes: rcp $TMP iceland:tty8 Some Unix systems may require the full pathname of the ‘RCP’ command. For example, SunOS Unix and may require the line to become: /usr/ucb/rcp $TMP iceland:tty8 f. Activate the printer for use. That is: lpc start IOLAN8 lpc enable IOLAN8 g. Set up the IOLAN+ port for RCP printing. See the relevant section in the guide or call Technical Support for an example fax.

Port: The TCP port on which the IOLAN+ port is listening for connection requests. Link: A mnemonic filename in /dev which shall be linked to the slave pseudo-tty selected by the daemon.
Other Devices Setup -h Hangs up the pseudo-tty if the TCP connection is lost. This mimics the situation in which a real serial port loses a signal such as DCD. In the same manner as the serial port, a SIGHUP signal will be sent to all processes that have the slave pseudo-tty as their controlling tty. See the -w option. -n Converts all carriage-returns read from the client process to carriage-return and line-feed. This is useful if using ioland for printing and the print job is off the right margin (i.e.
IOLAN + - User and Administration Guide -o Used with the -p option. This option prevents the slave pseudo-tty from closing so as to prevent any flushing of data that may occur. With this option set, the daemon will not close the TCP connection so its use is not advised for modems, as line hang-ups may not be initiated. It is useful for slow printers that may lose data on pseudo-tty close. -f Specify a different configuration file.
Other Devices Setup 4 Reports numbers of characters being sent/received. 8 Displays data written to the client process. 16 Displays data written to IOLAN+. 32 Reports telnet negotiations. 64 Displays data read from IOLAN+. 128 Displays data read from the client process. Adding the desired level numbers together can combine these levels. Care should be taken when a high debug level is set because the log file could grow too large. -s Used to transmit breaks to modems.
IOLAN + - User and Administration Guide 8.3 Tips Unix Notes On Unix variants based on System V Release 3, clients that are interactive shell processes may not be able to handle the interrupt, quit and break keys properly. This is a deficiency in the pseudo-tty drivers and not the daemon. On some System V Release 4 variants, if the daemon writes to a non-existent client, the pseudo-tty may irretrievably hang up.
The Menu Interface The Menu Interface 9 This section describes the menu system and the fields within them. Bounce around the menu system to get your bearings. All of the menus are covered and referenced in this section. 9.1 Menu Commands You move around the menus with the arrow keys or by using the first letter of the associated command. When you are in an editable menu, the key is used to move around the various fields. Pressing will usually bring up the following exit menu.
IOLAN + - User and Administration Guide Pressing cancels the Command Options window (works the same as Cancel). Other than mastering the difference between the key and , there are several other special fields and keys. Toggle fields Some data fields have a set of acceptable values. An example of this is the bps rate setting. To alter the value displayed in these fields press the space bar. The Values option on the commands pop-up menu can also be used.
The Menu Interface Connection 1 2 3 4 *** *** *** *** FREE FREE FREE FREE Host ** ** ** ** === Commands === | Telnet ^T| | Rlogin ^R| | Port ^P| | Admin mode ^A| | CLI | | Lock | | Logout ^D| ================ ________________________________________________________________________________ This option allows you to configure parameters affecting the Server box, eg hosts table, other terminals. a CDi IOLAN+RACK v4.01 IOLAN+ Figure 29: Commands pop-up menu (for Connection Menu).
IOLAN + - User and Administration Guide Resume Connection This option only appears if there is a current connection open. It allows you to carry on working on a host. Close Connection This option also appears only if the current connection is open and will close the session on a host machine. It is recommended to logout before closing the connection. Port This allows users to change the characteristics of their serial port. See Port Setup Menu section of this chapter.
The Menu Interface 9.3 Port Setup Menu This menu allows the user to set up all of the parameters associated with a port. The administrator can alter the set-up of any port on the IOLAN+ while a user can only alter the set-up for their own port.
IOLAN + - User and Administration Guide 80 Parity This field sets the parity of the port to even, odd or none. The default parity is None. Bit This sets the number of data bits that are used by the port from 5-8. The default is 8. Stop This defines how many stop bits the port uses to either 1, 1.5, 2. The default is 1. Break This field determines how the IOLAN+ reacts to the break key being pressed on the terminal.
The Menu Interface User The User section defines various user parameters such as name and terminal type. Most fields are used in this section. A full description is given below: Name This field defines the user name of this port on IOLAN+. Any string of up to 14 characters can be entered. This name is displayed on the top left hand corner of the menu screens. It is also listed in the statistics screens so that the administrator can see who is using each port.
IOLAN + - User and Administration Guide CLI/Menu Reset Term Flow Control IP address This section defines the various flow control options used by IOLAN+. This section is always used. The parameters are: Flow Ctrl This field defines which method of flow control to be used by this port, either XON/XOFF, HARDWARE, BOTH, none or WANG. To use HARDWARE flow control the correct cable must be used (see Appendix C, Cabling Guide). WANG is a special option designed for WANG terminal flow control applications.
The Menu Interface Options Dst This is the destination IP address of the PPP/SLIP connections. If blank, the remote host must supply the IP address. If filled in, you designate an assigned IP address to loan the remote host. If the secure field on the Port Menu is No, this can be overridden by the incoming host. Mask This is the subnet mask which controls the range of IP addresses accessible from the port (when using remote access).
IOLAN + - User and Administration Guide No Access to the administration mode is enabled from this port. Port will accept IP addresses. Yes Access to administration mode is disabled for this port. Port will reject IP addresses. LAN Access to administration mode is disabled and dial-in access via PPP/SLIP is disabled. Local network access commands telnet, rlogin and connect are enabled. WAN Access to administration is disabled and local network access commands, telnet, rlogin and connect are disabled.
The Menu Interface Del This field defines the character that generates a telnet erase character signal across the network. In addition, this key can be used to ‘reprogram’ the interpretation of the key when operating in the menu mode. If the users terminal generates the same key sequence for and , then setting this key to Ctrl-H (^H), causes the and keys to be treated as ‘delete the last character typed in’. Default is ^@.
IOLAN + - User and Administration Guide Access This section controls the type of the connection made from this port. This is the most important section in defining a port. The parameters are as follows: Access 86 This field defines the type of service that is operating on this port. Default is Local. Local This is the normal setting for terminals/PCs. Remote This setting indicates IOLAN+ should be listening on the ethernet for connections from a remote host.
The Menu Interface Authentication This field defines how a user logs in. Default is none. None This sets authentication off. Local This forces the incoming user to enter the IOLAN+ login authentication password (same password for all ports). Host This is full authentication requiring a user ID and password that will be checked against a designated authentication host. Both This provides two levels of security with Local authentication first, then Host.
IOLAN + - User and Administration Guide 88 Preferred IOLAN+ makes an immediate connection to the indicated host machine and port number. The Host, Remote and Mode fields must be filled in. Although the user is connected to a designated host, the user can hot key ^] back from this connection to the unit. This allows a user to configure the system so that they always log into one machine, but still have the option of connecting to others.
The Menu Interface 9.4 Administration Menu The Administration Menu allows the user access to the main configuration functions. All of the options can be accessed by a normal user (unless the secure field is set to Yes). None of the configuration details may be altered unless the user has entered the administrator’s password. ADMINISTRATION MENU gateway host line password port quit server stats REMOTE-ADMIN Examine/modify gateway table. Examine/modify host table.

This logs an ‘I am alive’ message every five minutes. Default is No. Log Port Connect /Disconnect Logs port connection status to the log file (for example, for Dial-in users).
The Menu Interface 9.7 Gateway Menu The Gateway Menu allows the IOLAN+ to make use of a gateway (I P router) on the network. This allows flexible internetworking. ** Administrator ** Entry Destination GATEWAY MENU Gateway REMOTE-ADMIN Netmask 1 [default ] [204.17.209.254 ] [default ] 2 [ ] [ ] [ ] 3 [ ] [ ] [ ] 4 [ ] [ ] [ ] and so on.. ________________________________________________________________________________ Figure 37: Administration - Gateway Menu.
IOLAN + - User and Administration Guide host The Destination field is a host IP address and only packets for that host are allowed across the gateway. default Any IP address allowed across the gateway are allowed across the gateway. 9.8 Host Address Menu IOLAN+ uses the information entered on the Host Address Menu to form an internal host table. The user can then use the host name in any of the IOLAN+ functions or menus.
The Menu Interface 9.10 Lines Menu This option allows the administrator to configure all of the parameters for any of the ports. The parameters accessible are exactly the same as those in the Port Setup Menu, but from these menus you can configure a set of parameters for all of the ports. Selecting this option brings up the Lines pop-up menu as shown below.

Command Line Interface Command Line Interface A This section outlines the use of the command line interface as opposed to the menu system. The IOLAN+ supports the use of menus for a number of terminal types. It also supports a command line interface (CLI) for use on other terminal types and Telnet/Rlogin sessions. If possible the menu interface should be used as it is far simpler to use. However, the CLI does offer the same level of functionality. A.

IOLAN + - User and Administration Guide The command will use telnet or rlogin depending on what is set in the Options section of the Port Menu. COPY DIAL DISCONNECT EXIT 110 Example: IOLAN> connect Host/IP Address> microart TCP Port> 23 Note: If the user presses the return at the port prompt, the unit defaults to port 23 which is the standard telnet port (or 513, the standard rlogin port). This option is not available when using remote administration or if the port secure mode is WAN.
Command Line Interface Some configuration parameters only come into effect after the user has exited and re-entered IOLAN+ (e.g. the name field). FACRESET GATEWAY HELP HOST KILL Syntax: facreset Description: This function will reset all parameters back to factory defaults. This option requires confirmation. Syntax: gateway <[add dest gate net][delete dest]> Description: This function allows the administrator to alter the gateway routing table.
IOLAN + - User and Administration Guide LOCK LOGOUT PROV REBOOT RESUME RLOGIN SAVE 112 Syntax: lock Description: This function allows the user to lock his terminal using a specific password. IOLAN+ prompts the user for a password and a confirmation. This function can not be used unless the Lock enable flag is set (via set port command). Syntax: logout Description: This function causes the user to exit IOLAN+. The unit closes down any sessions and resets the port. Same as exit.
Command Line Interface SET Description: This function allows the user to save the IOLAN+ configuration to a specified host machine and file. The configuration is saved to the specified Boot Host and put into the file name described in the Init File parameter (see Set server). IOLAN+ uses the TFTP protocol to save and load the file. Because of a restriction in most TFTP implementations the file must exist before it can be written. Admin level is required. Example: To create the file under Unix type: 1.
IOLAN + - User and Administration Guide The modem commands are taken from the Modem Config field of the Remote site devices menu. set term This function allows a user to alter their terminal type. If the term field is left blank the IOLAN+ displays a list of all the currently supported terminals (ansi, dumb, vt100, wyse50, wyse60, tvi925, ibm3151, vt320, falco, hp700). set port This function allows a user to set the parameters for their port, or the administrator to set the parameters for any port.
Command Line Interface set server This function allows the administrator to alter the IOLAN+ set-up including initial IP address and name. set slip [IP address] This function causes the port to go into SLIP mode provided secure is not set to LAN. You can specify an IP address to used by the remote host. set ppp [IP address] This function causes the port to go into PPP mode provided secure is not set to LAN. You can specify an IP address to used by the remote host.
IOLAN + - User and Administration Guide The show statistics command is used to display any of the IOLAN+ statistics for troubleshooting only (tcp, ip, udp, icmp, tty, eth, gateway). Example: show statistics tcp would show the TCP parameters screen. You can add a delay option which updates the screen every n seconds such as: show stats tcp 3 (use ESC to quit). SU TELNET TEST 116 Syntax: su Description: This function allows the user to become the administrator.
Troubleshooting & Maintenance Troubleshooting & Maintenance B If you encounter problems when installing or using your IOLAN+, try the suggestions given in this chapter. Hopefully, the problems can be solved quickly, otherwise contact your distributor or Chase support. Email or fax as described in section 1.3, Getting Support. B.
IOLAN + - User and Administration Guide Faulty terminal Try a known working terminal on the IOLAN+ port. Wrong port on terminal Many terminals have more than one port (i.e. AUX). Check that the cable has been connected to the correct port . Faulty Server port Try a known working terminal on the suspect port. If possible, attach a serial line monitor.
Troubleshooting & Maintenance B.2 Printer Problems Testing the port You can check some of the same problem notes in the terminal section because most are applicable to printers. The main problem is with cabling. If you experience printer problems, it’s a good idea to temporarily connect a terminal in place of the printer so you can ensure some of the basic functions are working correctly.
IOLAN + - User and Administration Guide Configuration Wrong The first method to test this is to check the IOLAN+ Statistics - Users Status screen. This screen should show next to the port number, the printer name (if the administrator has added it) and then the diagnostic 'Waiting for incoming connection'. If the diagnostic is something else, such as 'Connections Menu' then the IOLAN+ port is not correctly set up and needs rechecking. Be sure to kill the port after changing its configuration.
Troubleshooting & Maintenance Testing the port The first thing to ascertain is that you can talk to the modem. Check this by telneting to the port and attempting to obtain a response from the modem. The command sequence is: telnet elroy 10006 (port 6 on IOLAN elroy) If the modem is Hayes compatible, type the AT command and press the return key. The modem should respond with OK if the echo settings are correct at the modem.
IOLAN + - User and Administration Guide Network errors Try 'pinging' the IOLAN+ to establish connection. Network cable problems Check the network cable again. Does it work on another node correctly. Is the BNC (or AUI) connector fitted correctly? Configuration problems Check the IP address again on the Server Menu. Power problems Is the green LED power light on? Check the power itself with the plug, wall socket, fuses, etc. Is the green LED power light dim? Call your supplier or Chase support.
Troubleshooting & Maintenance 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. q. Self-test Diagnostics Monitor Download Reset Quit and boot server firmware Self-test This is for troubleshooting with Chase support only. It runs a signal level check on every port (and requires loopbacks on all ports). It also performs the Ethernet and RAM test (as in the diagnostics). Diagnostics This option will run a set of hardware diagnostics tests. If you get any errors report them to your supplier or Chase support. There are three options: a.
IOLAN + - User and Administration Guide Reset B.6 Using the IOLAN+ Statistics Screens This option allows several reset options including factory defaulting and password defaulting. Options are: a. Reset all settings to factory defaults: This will reset all the parameters of the unit back to factory defaults (the Ethernet address will stay the same). b. Reset password: This is useful if the password is lost or forgotten. It will set the password back to iolan. c.

Troubleshooting & Maintenance B.7 Using SNMP SNMP stands for Simple Network Management Protocol. A full description of SNMP is beyond the scope of this manual. However, if you’re familiar with SNMP, you can use this as a troubleshooting tool. As the name suggests SNMP is a protocol designed to allow control of a whole network. The IOLAN+ provides an SNMP agent, this means that it responds to SNMP requests. It does not have the facility to generate SNMP requests to monitor another system.

Cabling Guide Cabling Guide C The following guide describes pinouts and cables for both the IOLAN+ (DB25) and IOLAN+ (RJ45) units. Both units are wired DTE. Any cable you use should be shielded to comply with FCC requirements. Be careful not to run RS-232 wiring near fluorescent lights or electric motors. Maximum cable lengths for RS-232 are specified at 60m (200 feet) but are proportional to baud rates - the higher the baud, the smaller the cable should be.
