Set-up |
.
IOCOMM comes with a powerful web browser configuration interface. A Command Line Interface (CLI) is also provided, although this is less comprehensive.
The only action which cannot be executed using the web browser interface is the initial setting of the IOCOMM's IP address, which is covered at the beginning of the next section.
The Command Line Interface (CLI) may be used as a complementary tool for configuration, troubleshooting and maintenance.
Note: Turn off your web browser's cache.
Before set-up, carefully consider the location of your unit.
You can connect the IOCOMM to a LAN via one of the three Ethernet connectors:
The Ethernet connectors will automatically detect the connected media. If no LAN connection is made, the IOCOMM defaults to 10BASE-T.
Note: You can only connect one type of LAN media at any one time. You can however change the LAN media type at any later stage, but you will need to perform a hardware reboot (switch off / switch on) for the unit to recognise the new media type.
|
10BASE-T: |
Attach the cable (with RJ45 connector) from a hub to the
port on the rear of the IOCOMM marked 10BASE-T. |
|
10BASE2: |
Attach the LAN cable (with BNC T connector) to the port
on the rear of the IOCOMM marked 10BASE2. If this
unit is the last device on the network, a terminator will be
required. |
|
Note: Always ensure that the Ethernet cable
segment is at least 0.5 metre in length. The maximum length
for a single segment of thin Ethernet cable is 185
metres. |
|
|
AUI port: |
Attach the AUI connector to the IOCOMM port on the rear
of the unit marked AUI. The AUI connector allows an
external transceiver to be connected, enabling a number of
different media types to be used, including 10BASE5 and
fibre optic. |
The IOCOMM Access Server is now connected to the LAN.
The IOCOMM power supply accepts input voltage in the range 110 to 230 VAC, allowing it to be used world-wide. The power supply is auto-sensing for local conditions and requires no additional user set-up.
Check that the power switch on the front of the IOCOMM is off. Connect the mains lead and then power-on the unit. The green POWER indicator LED on the front left of the unit should be lit.
