Section 1: Setting Up and Using the i.LON 600 Internet Server
The RJ-45 10/100 BaseT Ethernet Port
The RJ-45 connector must be used with an RJ-45 male connector and a suitable Category
5 or Category 6 Ethernet cable connected to a 10BaseT or 100BaseT channel. The i.LON
600 automatically adjusts to the speed of the data port. If a 100BaseT network connection
is established, the i.LON 600 illuminates the “100” LED indicator on the front panel. The
i.LON 600 automatically detects whether it is connected to an Ethernet hub or directly to
a computer and will switch the connection polarity as appropriate, so there is no need to
use a crossover Ethernet cable.
The DB-9 Console Port
The i.LON 600 contains a console application that is accessed using a terminal emulation
program, such as Windows HyperTerminal, via the EIA-232 DB-9 console port. This
application allows you to set parameters such as the IP address, subnet mask, and FTP
user name and password. The DB-9 is designed to be used with a DB-9 null-modem
crossover cable with female connectors on both ends. Connect the cable to the i.LON 600
and an available COM port on a computer running the terminal emulation program. The
connector pins on the DB-9 console are aligned as shown in
