Configuring the Unit
The IOLAN SCG features several different configuration methods (i.e. HTTP,
HTTPS, Telnet and SSH). To use these methods, you must first configure an IP
address in the IOLAN. (see “Initial Setup” for details). More information can be
obtained from IOLAN SCG documentation on the Perle website at
www.perle.com
Hardware Connections
Connecting the Power
When the power is connected to the IOLAN, the System Ready LED will cycle
through several sequences and will end in a solid green once the unit is fully
booted and ready to be configured. If both power connectors are used, either
one is able to power the unit on its own.
