Connecting the Serial / Console Port
The IOLAN can be fully configured and managed from the console port. The IOLAN is set
in the factory to serial (up position). Unless you plan to attach a console to the IOLAN,
leave the dip switch in the serial position. If this DIP switch is set to the down position,
then the serial port is in console mode. In console mode, the port provides access to the
IOLAN management function using the industry standard CLI command set. See the
IOLAN Command Line Interface Reference Guide.
Console Port Mode
Depending on the model, the console port will be a DB9M connector, a RJ45 connector
or a DB25 connector. See Appendix D - Cabling and Connectors for information on cabling
requirements.
1. Power off the IOLAN and set the console switch to the down position.
2. Connect the power and allow the IOLAN to complete the boot up sequence.
3. Depending on your IOLAN model, connect an DB9, RJ45 or DB25 cable directly from
the IOLAN to the COM port on your PC.
4. Choose Start > Control Panel > Systems or equivalent on the Windows Operating
System you are using.

the button is released quickly the IOLAN will reboot, if the button is pressed for more
then three seconds the IOLAN will be returned to factory defaults.
Connecting Data Ports
Ethernet Connection
By default the 10/100/1000 Ethernet port will automatically set itself up to match the
speed of the port it is connected to. If auto negotiation is not supported by that port
then, the port can be configured to operate at a fixed speed and duplex settings.
To connect to 10Base‐T, 100Base‐TX or 1000Base‐T follow these steps:
1. Connect a straight through Ethernet cable from the IOLAN’s Ethernet port to an 10/
100/1000 RJ45 port on the network hub/switch.
2. Once the IOLAN is connected and the link is established, the link LEDs will turn on.
These LEDs will indicate whether you have a 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps link to your hub/
switch. See. (LED Indicators) for more details.

Hardware Options
The IOLAN contains jumpers that you might need to set before you configure it and put it
into production. You can set the Power Out pin, pin 10 to a fixed 5V DC output or to the
external adapter output; this can range from 9‐30V DC (if an external adapter is shipped
with the IOLAN, it has a 12V DC output); maximum output power is 1 (one) watt per
serial port. The Power Out pin is only supported on the SDS1 G/SDS1T Gmodel
The serial port can also operate in either EIA 232, 422 or 485 mode. This is a software
configuration (See the IOLAN User’s Guide for information on setting this parameter). If
EIA 422 or 485 is selected, the line termination may need to be set.
Termination is not necessary unless the IOLAN’s are the end points.
To change the hardware settings, do the following:
1. Unplug the IOLAN from the electrical outlet and disconnect everything from the unit.
2. Open the case by unscrewing the two side screws, one on each side, and lifting off
the top of the case.
