IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO Installation & Applications Guide — 2.1
2 Typical Applications & How to Configure Them
The IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO are flexible Ethernet Bridge/Routers. This section will
describe how to set-up the IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO routers using each of its
networking functions. Note that depending on the model of unit and what interface
modules are installed, some of the configuration examples may not apply; for example, if no
ISDN BRI module is installed, the sections on setting up an ISDN PPP IOLINK router
would not apply.
The IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO routers may be configured as a simple Ethernet bridge,
an Ethernet IP router, an Ethernet IPX router, or a combination of the three. When
operating the IOLINK router as a combination bridge/router, simply configure each of the
components separately.
Note: The configuration options described within this section are only for initial set-up and
configuration purposes. For more complete information on all of the configuration
parameters available please refer to the IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO VPN Menus
Manual file on the accompanying CD-ROM.
Important: The IOLINK-520 & IOLINK-PRO uses FLASH memory to store the configuration
information. Configuration settings are stored to FLASH memory after there
has been 30 seconds of idle time. Idle time is when there is no selection or
modification of the value in the built-in menu system. If you wish to save a
configuration immediately, enter “=” to get to the main menu, then select
option 5 “Save configuration”.
