2 IPLink 2603 & 2620 Quick Start Guide
1.0 Power up the router
Your router comes with one of the following power supply options:
• External AC adaptor with included power cord
•
Internal AC power supply
•
Internal DC power supply—no power accessories are included
1.1 Models with external AC adaptor
1. Connect female plug of the AC power cord to the AC adaptor provided.
2. Connect the barrel-type connector of the AC adaptor to the barrel-type Power jack on the IPLink router.
3. Insert the male plug of the AC power cord into an AC power outlet (100–240 VAC).
1.2 Models with internal AC power supply
1. Insert the female end of the AC power cord into the internal power supply connector.
2. Connect the male end of the power cord into an AC power outlet (100–240 VAC).
• The IPLink 2603/2620 contains no user serviceable parts. The equip-
ment shall be returned to Patton Electronics for repairs, or repaired
by qualified service personnel.
• An approved external power supply that incorporates a disconnect
device shall be used and positioned within easy reach of the operator.
• For AC powered units, the power cable used to connect the power
supply shall meet all applicable standards for the country in which it
is to be installed, and be connected to a wall outlet which has
earth ground.
• Hazardous network voltages are present in WAN ports regardless of
whether power to the unit is ON or OFF. To avoid electric shock, use
caution when near WAN ports. When detaching the cables, detach the
end away from the 2603/2620 first.
• Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during
periods of lightning activity.
The interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for external use and shall be rated for
the proper application with respect to voltage, current, anticipated temperature, flam-
mability, and mechanical serviceability.

1.3 Models with internal DC power supply
1. Strip insulation 1/4-inch from the electrical wires that will connect the DC power source to the IPLink.
2. Connect the ground terminal from the power source to the ground terminal on the IPLink.
3. Connect the negative (-) terminal from the power source with to the negative (-) terminal on the IPLink.

1.4 Power-up indication
The Power LED blinks as the IPLink is powering up. When the Power LED stops blinking and remains lit, the
IPLink is ready for you to configure.
2.0 Configure the IP address
The IPLink is shipped with a factory-configured IP address assigned to the Ethernet LAN port (green outline). The
address is 192.168.200.10/24 . In most cases, you must change the address to be on the same subnet as your
PC, as described in the procedures below. If you are not sure which IP address to use for your installation, contact
your network administrator.
2.1 Connecting a PC and logging in
1. Using the included combination RS232/Ethernet cable and DB9-RJ45 adapter, connect a PC’s serial port
to the IPLink’s Console port (see figure 1 ).
Figure 1. Connecting IPLink to the PC’s serial port
2. Start a HyperTerminal session on the PC using the settings:
9600 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, no flow control
3. Log in to the IPLink using the factory-default login and password:

2.2 Modifying the IP address
1. Display current IP interface settings for the IPLink Ethernet LAN port.
→→
→→
ip list interfaces <enter>
IP Interfaces:
ID | Name | IP Address | DHCP | Transport
---|------|----------------|----------|--------------
1 | ip1 | 192.168.200.10 | disabled | <eth1>
---------------------------------------------- ------
2. Modify the IP address for the LAN port according to your network requirements.
→→
→→
ip set interface ip1 ipaddress 10.10.10.5 255.255.255.0
Note The above IP address (
10.10.10.5/24)
is only an example. You must choose an IP address on the same
subnet as your PC .
3. Verify the new address is correct and save it in system boot memory.
→→
→→
ip list interfaces <enter>
→→
→→
system config save <enter>
→→
→→
Now you can connect the IPLink to your local IP network and complete the remaining configuration from your
PC using a standard web browser.
3.0 Connect to the local IP network
Connect the IPLink’s (green) Ethernet port to the same Ethernet segment as your PC (see figure 2 ).
Note The Model 2620 does not have an MDI-X switch, so you must use a cable wired straight-through to con-
nect the Model 2620’s Ethernet port to the IP network.
If you have a Model 2603, press the MDI-X switch until the Ethernet Link LED turns on.

You can check the network connection with the ping command. For example, you would ping 10.10.10.5 from
your PC.
4.0 Log onto the web management interface
You will now access the web management Graphical User Interface (GUI) to configure the IPLink using a stan-
dard web browser (such as Internet Explorer or Netscape browser).
1. At your PC, open a web browser and enter the IP address you assigned to the IPLink’s Ethernet LAN port
in step 2 of section 2.2 “Modifying the IP address” on page 4.
2. Log in to the web management home page using the username superuser and the password superuser .
Figure 3. IPLink web management home page
3. Now you can use the IPLink’s web management pages to complete your configuration (see section 6.0
“Complete the installation” on page 6).
5.0 Connect the WAN port
The IPLink 2603/T, 2603/K, and 2620 come with a T1/E1 WAN interface (presented on an RJ-48C connector
with selectable line impedances of 100-ohms for T1 and 120-ohms for E1 lines). The Model 2603 has one RJ-
48C connector and the 2620 has two. The Model 2603/K and 2620/KK also come with dual BNC connectors for
alternate connection to unbalanced 75-ohm E1 lines.
To connect the WAN port on a Model 2620 or Model 2603/T, or if you plan to use the RJ-48C port on a 2603/K,
refer to section “Connecting to the RJ-48C WAN port”. Otherwise, refer to section “Connecting to the unbalanced
75-ohm TX and RX WAN ports (Model 2603/K and 2620/KK only)” to install cables onto the BNC connectors on
the 2603/K and 2620/KK models.

6 IPLink 2603 & 2620 Quick Start Guide
Connecting to the RJ-48C WAN port
1. Obtain a twisted-pair cable with an RJ-48C plug connector at each end.
2. Plug one end of the cable into the RJ-48C socket (labeled WAN ) on the IPLink Router.
3. Plug the other end of the cable into the T1/E1 device.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 to install the remaining WAN cables on a Model 2620
Connecting to the unbalanced 75-ohm TX and RX WAN ports (Model 2603/K
and 2620/KK only)
1. Obtain a coaxial cable with a BNC connector at each end.
2. Plug one end of the cable into the transmit socket (labeled TX ) on the IPLink Router. Plug the other end
of the cable into the receive port of the E1 device.
3. Plug one end of the cable into the receive socket (labeled RX ) on the IPLink Router. Plug the other end of
the cable into the transmit port of the E1 device.
