Powering Up the IOLAN

42 

IOLAN SDS/SCS/STS/MDC User’s Guide, Version 4.0

The rack mount IOLAN models have a dedicated Console port, located on the LED side of the 
IOLAN. You can use the supplied Administration cable (with the supplied RJ45

J

DB9F adapter if 

needed) to connect a terminal to the Console/Admin port to view diagnostic information and/or 
configure the IOLAN using the Menu or Command Line Interface (CLI). You can configure the baud 
rate and flow control of the dedicated Console port.

To power up the desktop or rack mount IOLAN, perform the following steps:

Rack mount models only: Using the rack mount brackets included with your IOLAN, you can 
rack mount the IOLAN from the front or the back of the chassis, depending on your 
environment. Make sure you don’t block the IOLAN’s side air vents. Each IOLAN is 1U in 
height, and does not require any extra space between units; therefore, you can rack mount up to 
five IOLANs in a 5U rack. 

Plug the external power supply into the IOLAN and then into the electrical outlet. Connect it to 
the PSE if you have a P series (Power over Ethernet) model.

Rack mount models only: Power on the IOLAN unit using the Power ON/OFF switch.

You will see the LEDs blink for several seconds and then remain a solid green, indicating that it 
is ready to configure/use.

Before you start to configure the IOLAN, you should set the desktop IOLAN jumpers if you want to 
terminate the line or use the power in pin feature (instead of an external power supply, if your 
desktop IOLAN model supports it).

In some circumstances, the setting of jumpers may be required:

z

IOLAN DS and SDS models where EIA-422/485 line termination is required.

z

IOLAN I/O models with Digital I/O for setting the channels as input or output.

z

IOLAN I/O models with Analog I/O for setting Voltage/Current.

See Appendix E, Setting Jumpers

 to see how to set the jumpers for your IOLAN 

desktop model.
