Powering Up the Device Server

Powering Up the Device Server
Before you attach the Device Server to your network or try to configure it, we suggest that you power
it up to verify that it works properly. To power up the Device Server, perform the following steps:
1. Plug the external power supply into the Device Server and then into the electrical outlet.
2. If the Device Server is working correctly, you should see:
a. The Power/Ready LED starts out red.
b. The Power/Ready LED flashes green while the Device Server boots up.
c. The Power/Ready LED stays solid green, indicating that it is ready to configure/use.
You are now ready to begin communicating with your IOLAN Device Server. The last step of the
installation process is to set an IP address for the Device Server; this is necessary before it can be
configured and put into production.
Before you start to configure the Device Server, you should set the Device Server jumpers if you
want to terminate the line
.
Setting Jumpers
The Device Server contains jumpers that you might want to set before you configure it and put it into
production. You can set the Device Server line termination to
on or off (this is off by default) if
you are using EIA-422/485. To change the settings, do the following:
1. Unplug the Device Server from the electrical outlet and disconnect everything from the box.
2. Open the case by unscrewing the two side screws, one on each side, and lifting off the top of the
case. You should see the following:
Power
Dip
Switch
Reset
RJ45
DB25
Pin1
Screw
Screw
J1
J4
J9
3. To turn line termination on , locate and jumper both J1 and J9.
4. Close the Device Server case by replacing the case lid and the two screws. You can now power it
on with the new settings.
