Chapter 2 Installation
Switching on IOLAN+
The IOLAN+ power supply accepts input voltages in the range 110 to 240V AC, allowing it to
be used world-wide. The IOLAN+ 102/104 has an external power supply unit.
After you connect your LAN interface, you can power up the unit. The green power indicator
at the side (or front for rack and 102/104 units) should be lit. If the unit fails to power up with
the green power indicator lit, disconnect the unit and contact your dealer for help.
The IOLAN+ firmware may be compressed, and this takes a short time to decompress before
running.
During this phase the network LEDs will light alternately to indicate that decompression is in
progress.
The green Ethernet indicators show the active connections. It remains lit and blinks when
LAN traffic is active.
If your unit has 10BASE-T, 10BASE2 and AUI connectors, then the green ethernet indicators
show the active connection. The indicators remain lit and blink when LAN traffic is active.
If you have an IOLAN+ Rack unit with 10/100BASE-T, then the Ethernet indicators will light
green to indicate either 10Mbit or 100Mbit link, and the Activity light flickers to indicate LAN
traffic.
If you have an IOLAN+ or IOLAN+102/104 with 10/100BASE-T, then the Ethernet will light
green to indicate a 100Mbit link, and orange to indicate a 10Mbit link. The LED will flicker to
show LAN traffic.
You are now ready to begin communicating with your IOLAN+. You can connect to IOLAN+ in
different ways: via a terminal or PC on port 1, or using ARP or BOOTP. Using ARP is the
preferred method for both Windows ® and Unix, however a terminal or PC attached to port 1
is often used.
BOOTP setup is for Unix users only. Choose the appropriate method for your application.
Third party BOOTP packages are available for Windows ®
Note:
To change your Ethernet media, you will need to reboot the unit to activate the connector.
