Setting Up the Network
Using WebManager
To use the WebManager as your configurator, you must first assign an IP address to the IOLAN. You
can use the Easy Config Wizard to assign an IP address to the IOLAN or any of the other methods
described in this section. Once the IP address is assigned to the IOLAN, simply type the IP address
into the
Address field of your web browser and press the Enter key.
Using a Direct Serial Connection to Specify an IP Address
You can connect to the IOLAN’s serial console port using a PC with a terminal emulation package,
such as HyperTerminal or a terminal.
1. Connect the IOLAN to your PC or dumb terminal. Make sure the DIP switch is in Console mode
(for desktop models, this sets the IOLAN serial port 1 to EIA-232) or that you are connected to
the dedicated Console port (for rack mount models). When connecting a terminal or PC directly
(without modems), the EIA-232 signals need to be crossed over (‘null modem’ cable). See
Appendix D, EIA-232 Cabling Diagrams for cabling diagrams.
2. Using a PC emulation application, such as HyperTerminal, or from a dumb terminal, set the Port
settings to 9600 Baud, 8 Data bits, No Parity, 1 Stop Bits, and No Hardware Flow control to
connect to the IOLAN. You can change these settings for future connections on the rack mount
models (the IOLAN must be rebooted for these changes to take place).
3. When prompted, type admin for the User and superuser for the Password. You should now see
the a prompt that displays the model type and port number; for example,
SCS16#.
4. You are now logged into the IOLAN and can set the IP address by typing from the command line
using the Command Line Interface (CLI).
For single Ethernet connection models, type:
set server internet <ipv4address>
For dual Ethernet connection (SCS) models, type:
set server internet eth1 <ipv4address>
Where ipv4address is the IP Address being assigned to the IOLAN.
5. Type the following command:
save
6. If you are going to use another configuration method, such as WebManager or DeviceManager,
unplug a desktop IOLAN or turn Off a rack mount IOLAN. On a desktop IOLAN, change the
DIP switch to Off Serial (DIP switch in the up position) and connect it to your serial device. Plug
the IOLAN back in, automatically rebooting the IOLAN in the process.
7. If you want to complete the configuration using a direct connection, see Command Line
Interface and/or Menu . After you complete configuring the IOLAN, unplug the IOLAN. If this
is a desktop model, change the IOLAN DIP switch to Off Serial (DIP switch in the up position)
and connect it to your serial device. Plug the IOLAN back in, automatically rebooting the
IOLAN in the process.
Note:
This procedure does not apply to IOLAN medical unit models.
