has only allowed you to connect to the unit so far).
Note: If there are any errors, recheck both the IP and

(Appendix B) for more information on problems.
You can now skip the next section and go straight to section

You can connect to IOLAN+ using a terminal or PC (with a
terminal emulation package such as Hyperterm).
Connect a terminal or your PC to port 1. The IOLAN+ serial
ports are DTE type RS-232 ports. When connecting a terminal/
PC directly (without modems), the RS-232 signals need to be
crossed over ('null modem' cable). See the Cabling Guide
(Appendix C) for pinout information.
For a terminal/PC to communicate with a server, set it to the
following: 9.6 kbps, eight data bits, one stop bit, software
flow control, no parity.
After powering up IOLAN+, you are prompted to enter a
'Local login:>'. You can just hit any character and
point (the character is required).
