Getting Started
Registration
We know you’re anxious to mount your new Telos iPort High Density and get it
running, but please take a moment to register your product online to activate
the warranty and ensure you will get quality support should you have questions
regarding installation, operation, or troubleshooting. Visit http://telosalliance.com/

Hardware Installation
The 1RU iPort High Density hardware mounts in a standard 19-inch rack with
supplied rack rails. The rear of the unit must be supported. To prevent damage,
if the supplied rack rails are not used, a supporting shelf is recommended. Install
iPort High Density in a location where cooling fan noise is not an issue.
Important - Please see the User Warnings and Cautions page at
https://docs.telosalliance.com/user-manual-safety-boilerplate for important
installation and electrical safety information.

Initial Configuration
Power
Power is supplied by dual, redundant, internal, auto-ranging power supplies,
100-264 VAC, 50/60Hz, 100W max. These supplies are auto-switching and easily
field-replaceable for maximum uptime. A green LED indicates a normal status. A
red LED (or no light at all) indicates a fault.
Note - Using both power supplies - ideally fed from two dierent sources - is
recommended for redundancy, but iPort High Density can operate on a single
power supply. If only one power supply is connected, release the latch and
remove the second power supply to prevent the alarm from sounding.
Network
The Ethernet mode is set permanently to AUTO for both NICs, and so the switch
or router to which they are connected must be as well. Problems can result if the
router or switch is set to a fixed 10, 100, or 1000BT status.
CAT-5e cables may be used for the Livewire connection, though we recommend
CAT-6 when possible for all 1000BT (Gigabit) connections.
Important - The NET 2 (the Livewire LAN) connection requires a 1000BT
full-duplex connection.
For the initial setup, you can connect iPort High Density to your switch or
temporarily connect it directly to a PC using a standard Ethernet cable (a cross-
over cable is not required).
iPort High Density ships with network addresses pre-set as follows. If this fits your
network scheme, you can continue with the configuration via a web browser.
