Connecting to your Network
First connect IOLAN+ to a network then begin configuring the unit for your application.
Additional information on configuring modems and printers follows.
IOLAN+ and IOLAN+ Rack connect to your ethernet network via one of the following
(depending on your hardware model):
• Auto-sensing 10BASE-T (twisted pair)
• Auto-sensing 10BASE2 (thin)
• Auto-sensing AUI
• 10/100BASET
IOLAN+ 102/104 connect using either:
• 10BASE-T (twisted pair)
• 10/100BASE-T
10BASE-T (twisted pair)
Attach the RJ connector from a hub directly to IOLAN+ twisted pair port.
10BASE2 (Thin Ethernet)
Attach a BNC T connector directly to IOLAN+. If your IOLAN+ is the termination point for the
cable you need to add a terminator. Always ensure that each segment of the thin Ethernet
cable is at least 0.5m in length. The maximum length for a thin Ethernet cable is 185 metres.
AUI port
The AUI connector allows an external transceiver to be connected. This allows a number of
different interfaces to connect including 10BASE5 (or thick) and fibre optic transceivers.
Attach the RJ45 connector from a hub directly to the IOLAN+ port.
10/100BASE-T
Attach the RJ connector from a hub directly to the IOLAN+ 10/100BASE-T port.
