Getting to Know Your IOLAN
This section describes the hardware components found on your IOLAN unit.
Overview
All IOLANs have the same basic hardware components to allow you to connect to serial devices,
connect to the network, monitor LAN and serial activity, and manage the unit. Below is a list of these
components:
zSerial Port(s)—Connector(s) that will be used to connect to a serial device.
zActivity—This LED blinks to indicate LAN activity. (For medical unit models, the LED is
indicated by the symbol.)
zLink10/100—This LED indicates the Ethernet connection speed for desktop models only:
– Green—10 Mbits
–Amber—100 Mbits
–Off—no LAN connection
zLink10/100/1000—This LED indicates the Ethernet connection speed for rack mount models
only:
– Green—10/100 Mbits
–Amber—1000 Mbits
–Off—no LAN connection
zPower/Ready —This LED can cycle through several colors (amber, green, red) during a boot
process, but should complete with a solid green light. The label of the LED, and whether or not
the LED blinks green after power depends on the IOLAN, as shown in the table below. You can
learn more about the Power/Ready LED in Hardware Troubleshooting .
