1.1 — IOLINK-130 Installation & Applications Guide
1 - INSTALLATION
The IOLINK-130 is an Ethernet Bridge/Router that provides
bridging, IP/IPX routing, and compression over a frame relay
permanent virtual circuit or a PPP leased line circuit..
The following instructions provide a quick set-up guide for installation
of the IOLINK-130 router
Unpack the IOLINK-130
Rough handling during shipment can damage electronic equipment. As
you unpack the router, carefully check for signs of damage. If damage
is suspected, contact the shipper. Save the box and all packing material
to protect the router should it ever need to be moved or returned for
service.
Check the packing slip that identifies the components and the LAN
connector. The connectors on the rear of the router provide all
external connections to the IOLINK-130 router.
Select a Site
Place the router in a well-ventilated area. The site should maintain
normal office temperature and humidity levels. Air vents located on
the rear of the router must have an inch or so of clearance from any
object. Units should not be stacked.

Installation
1.2 — IOLINK-130 Installation & Applications Guide
Identify the Connectors
Each unit is configured with both straight (MDI) and crossed over
(MDI-X) 10BaseT LAN connectors; the IOLINK-130 will auto-sense
between the two. Only one connector may be used at a time.
The IOLINK-130 router is produced with four different WAN
interface modules: V.35, CSU-DSU, Universal WAN or T1/E1. The
type of module in a unit may be determined by looking at the label over
the WAN connector on the back panel.

Installation
IOLINK-130 Installation & Applications Guide —1.3
Connect to the Console
Connection to the router operator’s console is made through the RJ-45
connector labeled CONSOLE on the back of the router. A RJ-45
cable and RJ-45 to DB9 (female) converter are provided for connection
to a DB9 (male) connector.
Connect the console port of the IOLINK-130 router to a computer
running an asynchronous communication package or a standard
asynchronous terminal. The router supports autobaud rates at 1200,
2400, 9600 or 19,200 bps. The router is managed through the use of
“hotkey” Menus.
Appendix D provides the pinout information for the console
connector and the DB9 to RJ45 converter.
Make the LAN Connections
Connect the IOLINK-130 router to the LAN with the available LAN
interface cable.
The IOLINK-130 may be connected directly to a wiring hub or
Ethernet switch by using the MDI LAN port and a standard 10BaseT
cable.
The IOLINK-130 may be connected directly to a computer network
card by using the MDI-X LAN port and a standard 10BaseT cable.
Make the WAN Link Connection
The Universal WAN module may be selected to operate as a V.11,
V.35, RS232, or EIA530 interface. The Universal WAN interface
module uses a DB25 connector. Be sure to secure the cable connector
to the router and the communications equipment with connector
screws to prevent accidental disconnection.
WARNING: ensure that the connector cable used with the Universal
interface module has the correct pinouts for the operational mode
selected for the interface (V.11, V.35, RS232, or EIA530). Using the
incorrect cable connector for the operational mode selected may cause
permanent damage to the interface module. Please see Appendix D for
pinout assignments.

Installation
1.4 — IOLINK-130 Installation & Applications Guide
Note: When the IOLINK-130 router is initially powered up, the
Universal WAN will have the default type of “none”. Before the link
can be used, it must be configured to the type of connection service
that will be used; please see the following section for this procedure.
The V.35 module and Universal WAN module in V.35 mode require
interface converters that convert from a DB25 connector to a male 34
pin (V.35) connector used for the V.35 service interface. Be sure to
secure the cable connector to the router and the communications
equipment with connector screws to prevent accidental disconnection.
The T1/E1 and LX411 CSU-DSU interfaces connect with a standard
RJ-45 (RJ-48C specification for T1/E1, RJ-48S specification for
CSU/DSU) connector
After the IOLINK-130 is powered up and the router has established
communications with its partner across the WAN, the “Tx” LED will
turn green.

Installation
IOLINK-130 Installation & Applications Guide —1.5
Power Up the Router
Once the LAN and Link connections are made and the console is
connected to a terminal, you are ready to power-up the IOLINK-130
router. Connect the DC power cord from the supplied power supply
to the back of the IOLINK-130 router and plug the power supply into
the AC wall outlet.
Observe the LEDs as the router powers up. The LEDs will go
through a flashing pattern as the power-up diagnostics are performed.
After the power-up diagnostics are finished, the Power LED will go
from red to green.
The console will also display testing and initialization messages as it
performs these tasks (if this is the first time the router has been
powered up on this console, the display may be unreadable until the
next step is performed).
Enter at least one [RETURN] (up to three if necessary) in order for the
router to determine the baud rate of the terminal used for the console
(i.e., autobaud). The following information will now be seen on the
console connected to the router :
Terminals supported:
ansi, avt, ibm3101, qvt109, qvt102, qvt119,
tvi925, tvi950, vt52, vt100, wyse-50, wyse-vp,
teletype
Enter terminal type:
Select the terminal type being used if listed and enter its name (in lower
case) at the prompt, or choose the terminal type
teletype if your
terminal is not listed. This terminal type operates in scroll mode and
may be used successfully until a custom terminal definition is created.
Login and Enter the Required Configuration
At the login screen type a 1 and the default password to enter the menu
system of the IOLINK-130 router. The default password is
BRIDGE
(case sensitive) and should be changed if security is desired.
With the options of the built-in menu system, the IOLINK-130 may
be configured to operate within your environment.
Refer to the IOLINK-130 PPP Menus Reference Manual file on the
accompanying CD-ROM for a complete description of all the Menu
Options.

Setting the Link Interface Type
(Universal WAN only)
The Universal WAN Interface must be configured to match the service
to which it will be connected.
WARNING: ensure that the connector cable used with the Universal
interface module has the correct pinouts for the operational mode
selected for the interface (V.11/X.21, V.35, RS232/V.24, or
RS530/RS422). Using the incorrect cable connector for the operational
mode selected may cause permanent damage to the interface module.
