Button/Switch Functions
Reset Button
To reset the IOLAN insert a paper clip into the inset hole
labelled as Reset and gently press inwards. The Power/Ready
LEDs on the IOLAN will go On and then momentarily Off
when released to show that the unit has been reset. All links
will be dropped and the MAC tables will be cleared
WPS Button
Insert a paper clip into the inset hole labelled as WPS and
gently press inwards. Pressing this button for less then 3
seconds will put the IOLAN in WPS mode, greater then 4
seconds the unit is in Soft-AP mode.
Console Switch
The dip switch on the IOLAN is set in the factory to serial
(down position). Unless you plan to attach a console to the
IOLAN, leave the dip switch in the serial position.
Connecting the Power
Either the barrel or TB (Terminal Block) can be used to
power the IOLAN.
Barrel connector
• Plug the power adapter into a power socket and connect
the barrel connector end into the IOLAN. The
power/Ready LED should show a solid green.
Terminal block connector
1. Ensure power is NOT applied to the wires prior to
connection.
2. On each end wire (12-20 AWG), remove the insulation from
the copper wire 5 mm (3/16 of an inch).
3. Loosen the left screw on the top of the terminal connector
block, then insert your positive (+) wire into the left
terminal and screw it down tight (.51Nm torque). Loosen
the right screw on the top of the terminal connector block,
then insert your negative (-) wire into the right terminal and
screw it down tight (.51Nm torque).
4. Re-insert the terminal block connector if removed.
5. Turn on power at source.
Input Voltage Range: (9-30v DC).
Typical Power Consumption @ 12v DC;
IOLAN SDS1 W Nominal 0.3A@12V, Max 0.45A, Max 4.5W
IOLAN SDS2 W Nominal 0.33A@12V, Max 0.5A, Max 5.1W
IOLAN SDS4 W Nominal 0.39A@12V,Max 0.66A, Max 6.4W
DB9M / RJ-45 Connectors
Please refer to the pin-out table for your device and ensure you
have the appropriate cable for connecting your serial device to
serial ports on the IOLAN.
DB9M Socket
RJ-45 Socket
Each serial port can operate in either EIA 232, 422 or 485 mode. This
is a software configuration. If EIA 422 or 485 is selected, the line ter-
mination may need to be set. SW5 has two switches associated with
each serial port.
Note: For EIA-232 these switches must be in the OFF position
(default).

Powering On Cycle
When the power is connected to the IOLAN, the Power/Ready
LED will cycle through several sequences and will end in a
solid green once the unit is fully booted and ready to be
configured.
If the LED is not solid green after two minutes, refer to the
User’s Guide for help identifying the reason.

Connecting the IOLAN to the Wi-Fi
Network
The following steps allow for each connection to the IOLAN for
initial configuration.
Initial Setup - Soft-AP Method
1. The IOLAN must be powered up.
2. Press the inset WPS button (using a paper clip) for 4
seconds to enable Soft-AP mode. The Signal strength LED
display should show a pulsing green LED on the third light
from the left to right to confirm you are in Soft-AP mode
(See IOLAN Top Views).
3. The IOLAN is listed on your network connections on your
PC or wireless client. It will appear as SSID:
IOLAN-xxxxxx (the last 6 digits of the IOLAN wireless
MAC address - found on the product label).
4. If using the password entry method:
• select the wireless network on the PC
• when a password is requested, enter the password
printed on the product label
5. If using the WPS method:
• press and release the WPS button on the IOLAN
• select the wireless network on the PC
• select the WPS option on the PC’s password dialog box
6. Should a dialog box appear on your PC’s screen to connect
to the network, press the continue/Ok button to complete
the connection to the IOLAN.
7. Use a Web browser to connect to the default address of the
IOLAN at (192.168.0.1).
8. The default userid is admin and the default password is
superuser (case sensitive).
9. You can now configure and manage your IOLAN using
the IOLAN WebManager application.
Note: You should change the admin password to restrict
unauthorized access to your IOLAN.
For additional methods of configuring your IOLAN (i.e.,
HTTP, Telnet, SNMP), please refer to the IOLAN User’s
Guide.
