IBR-10™ Installation Guide
for ELIOS™ Software Version 0500
his guide presents procedures for a standard installation of the IBR-10™.
Note: The screens shown in this document are examples; the choices shown on your IBR-10’s menus
depend on the features in the chassis and on the software version installed in the device. (For figures,
tables, and configurations not addressed in this Quick Installation Guide, see the VPN and Legacy-to-IP
Products Customization and Maintenance Guide or the VPN and Legacy-to-IP Products Hardware Reference
Guide.)
Gather all required information. Before you start these procedures, make sure you have all the information
required to set up the IBR-10 for use in your network—for example, the device’s IP address, the device’s
configuration, and network and routing functions that the device will perform. Use the site planning
worksheets in the VPN and Legacy-to-IP Products Customization and Maintenance Guide as checklists for this
information.
If you have questions or concerns after you have followed these procedures, contact Encore Networks, Inc.,
at [email protected], 703-318-4350 (voice), or 703-318-4371 (fax).
A Setting Up the Hardware
1Unpack the chassis and components from the shipping box. Make sure you have all the parts:
the chassis (Figure 1), an autosensing external power supply, an RJ-45 Supervisory cable, an adapter for
the Supervisory cable (described in the Note in Step 7), a paper copy of this Quick Installation Guide, a
CD containing customer documentation for the VPN and Legacy-to-IP products, and any additional
accessories that you ordered.
Note: Shipments within North America include a power cable. For shipments outside North America,
contact your distributor for a cable that meets local requirements to connect the BANDIT’s power
supply to a power outlet.
Figure 1. IBR-10 Chassis, Front
2Place the IBR-10 chassis on a tabletop or shelf.
3Connect an earth ground wire to the chassis, as follows: Attach a (minimum) 12 AWG wire to the earth
ground screw to the right of the safety ground symbol, on the extreme right rear of the chassis
(Figure 2). Use a ring terminal, such as an AMP (part number 36160), for this connection.

Warning: An earth ground must connect to the chassis so that the device remains grounded
even when it is not receiving power.

4Connect the IBR-10’s ports to their network devices.
5Connect the chassis to the external power supply.
6Then connect the external power supply to an outlet supplying 100–240 VAC at 47–63 Hz.
7Use the Supervisory cable and adapter to connect the device’s Supervisory port to your PC’s COM
port.
Note: An eight-pin modular (RJ-45) to DB-9 adapter is the standard adapter to connect the
Supervisory cable to a PC. This adapter is shipped with the unit. The following alternate
adapters are also available. (Contact Encore Networks, Inc., if you need either of these adapters.)
• An RJ-45 to DB-25 adapter for connection to most asynchronous terminals
• An RJ-45 to DB-25 modem adapter to connect a modem for out-of-band management or remote
configuration
B Logging In
1On the PC, open a terminal emulation session, such as HyperTerminal. Use the settings in Table 1
to establish communication between the terminal console and the IBR-10.
2On the terminal console, press Enter to autoconnect to the attached device.
❖After successful log-in, the Main Menu appears.

D.3.2 DHCP Settings
To review settings that the WAN or LAN port uses for DHCP, or to modify or disable DHCP on a port,
do the following on the port’s Logical Port Attribute menu (see Section D.3, Ports).
Note: The WAN and LAN ports use different settings. Typically, a BANDIT device is a DHCP client
on the WAN port and is a DHCP server on the LAN port. You may enable, modify, or disable use of
DHCP on one port or on both ports.

2Select the option you want this port to use.
❖If you select None, the device does not use this port for DHCP. Press Escape until you return
to the port’s Logical Port Attribute menu. Go to Step 5.
❖If you select Client, the device uses this port to request its IP address. (On the WAN port, the
device requests its public IP address.) No further configuration is required for the DHCP client
role. Press Escape until you return to the port’s Logical Port Attribute menu. Go to Step 5.
❖If you select Server, the device uses this port to assign IP addresses. (On the LAN port, the
device assigns private IP addresses.) The Logical Port Attribute menu is redisplayed, with a menu
item for configuring the DHCP server.
3Select DHCP Server Parameters.
❖The DHCP Server Parameters menu appears.
4Select and configure each parameter the device will use as the local (intranet) DHCP server. When
you have finished configuring the DHCP server, press Escape until you return to the port’s
Logical Port Attribute menu.

Configuration, and Section F, Restarting (Resetting) the Device.
D.3.3 Dial Backup Settings
1To configure a port for dial backup, select Dialup Configuration on the Logical Port Attribute
menu (see Section D.3, Ports).
Note: A port can be configured for dial backup only if its protocol supports dial backup. The
port’s Logical Port Attribute menu will not allow this option unless the protocol supports it. To
select a protocol that supports dial backup, see Section D.3.1, Protocols.
2Configure the parameters for the dialup. When you have finished, press Escape to return to the
Logical Port Attribute menu.
D.4 IP Configuration

For more information, see the VPN and Legacy-to-IP Products Customization and Maintenance Guide.
D.4.3 Network Address Translation
You can use the BANDIT products for network address translation (NAT).
If your connections will include VPNs across satellite networks, the BANDIT device will use selection
layer encryption. Before configuring the NAT Table, read Section E.4.3, Selective Layer Encryption in
VPNs.
To use network address translation, do the following:
1On the IP Routing Configuration menu, select Network Address Translation.

12 IBR-10™ Installation Guide
2On the Network Address Translation menu, do the following:

G Exiting a Session
After the software has been configured, save (write) the configuration. Then exit the session before
disconnecting the PC, so that communication is not disrupted.
Caution: Before you exit, make sure you save (write) the configuration. Otherwise, the changes
you configured will be lost. See Section E, Saving (Writing) the Device’s Configuration.
To exit the session, do the following:
1On the Main Menu, select Exit Session.
