Installing the IAD
After you unpack the IAD, find a suitable location to install the unit. Ideal
locations include a computer equipment room or a telephone or wiring closet.
You can locate the IAD on a table or shelf, or it may be wall-mounted. Install
the IAD in a location that is generally protected and where it will be
undisturbed.
AC Power and Uninterruptible Power Supply
The IAD requires access to AC power (NEMA 15-3R). Make sure the IAD is
located within 6 ft of an AC power outlet. Locate the nearest power outlet and
plug in the supplied AC power adapter or AC power cord. If there is an
uninterruptible power supply on premises, plug the AC power adapter or cord
into that power source.
Ensure the power cord conveniently and safely reaches the rear panel of the
IAD where the power plug or adapter jack is located.
NOTICE: Do not attach the AC power adapter or power up the unit at this time.
Clearance Requirements
When you install the IAD horizontally, make sure you maintain at least 2
inches of horizontal distance from other IADs or other electronic equipment
to ensure adequate ventilation and heat dissipation.
NOTICE: Due to generated heat, 8000 Series IADs should not be stacked on top
of each other.
Wiring Requirements
Make sure the telephone wiring, LAN, and WAN cables reach the IAD and
can be dressed in a manner that is safe for the wiring, does not pull or create
lateral stress on the connectors or ports on the rear of the IAD, and does not
present a trip hazard to personnel working in the vicinity of the equipment.
Do not connect any cables or wiring at this time.
Connecting the IAD Via a Terminal Emulator
The IAD is configured and managed from either the console or Ethernet port.
A Telnet session is usually used to access the IAD via Ethernet. After you use
a terminal emulator program via the console port (refer to Console Port Pin
Assignments (DB-9) on page B-6 for console port specifications) to set the IP
address, you may continue to use a terminal emulator via the console port.
The factory-set default IP address is
192.168.1.254 for the Ethernet port.
