2.2. Powering Up the Device
Connect the 12V/2.5A DC power supply, or the 24–48VDC terminal block, depending on the IOTA model.
IOTA can also be powered via PoE+ over the management port by connecting it to a PoE+ switch. Connect
both power port and PoE+ management port for redundant powering, ensuring continued operation in case
either port were to be disconnected or unable to provide power.
IOTA boots automatically after a power connection is established. Its status can be observed via the activity
LEDs.
Once powered, the in-line failover circuit is disabled, effectively placing the device in-line.
Note: Initial boot may take some time to complete. When both the Status and Capture LEDs are green,
IOTA has completed the boot sequence.
Note: When using an IOTA 10G+ with two 10GBASE-T SFPs, PoE+ alone may not provide enough power
for operation. If that is the case, it is recommended to connect the 12 VDC (12V Model) or 24–48 VDC (24V
Model) power inputs.
2.3. Accessing IOTA Over the Network
To access the IOTA over the network, connect to the HTTPS interface by browsing to the device IP of your
IOTA.
The full URL should be: https://x.x.x.x
DHCP mode is enabled by default. If no IP is assigned to the IOTA, the default fallback IP is 169.254.1.1.
To login, use the following initial credentials:
Default username: admin
Default password: admin
Note: Make sure to change the default credentials as soon as possible.
