Setting Up the Network
10. Expand the Server Configuration folder and select Server. Verify the IP address configuration.
You should also enter a name in the
Server Name field to make the IOLAN easily identifiable.
11. To make your edits take effect, you need to download the new configuration file and then reboot
the IOLAN. Download the configuration file to the IOLAN by selecting
Tools, Download
Configuration to Unit
or click the Download All Changes button.
12. Reboot the IOLAN by selecting Tools, Reboot Server or click the Reboot IOLAN button.
For more information on configuring the IOLAN using DeviceManager, see Chapter 5 Using
DeviceManager and WebManager.
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
(desktop models, this sets the IOLAN serial port 1 to EIA-232). When connecting a terminal or
PC directly (without modems), the EIA-232 signals need to be crossed over (‘null modem’
cable). See
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.
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,
DS1#.
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).
Type:
set server internet <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. 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.
