IOLAN SDG4 LA/LE Hardware Installation Guide
Overview
This guide provides information on installing and doing the initial configuration on the
IOLAN SDG4 LA/LE unit.
The IOLAN SDG4 LA/LE comes in two basic flavors;
IOLAN SDG4 LA - Four RJ45 serial ports and a North American Cellular module.
IOLAN SDG4 LE - Four RJ45 serial ports and a European Cellular module.
This guide refers to these models generically as the IOLAN SDG4 L.

Ethernet and Serial Ports
10/100/1000Base-T Port
The Ethernet port provides the standard Gigabit Ethernet interface speeds of 10/100/
1000 Mbps through twisted pair (UTP) cables of up to 100 meters (328ft) in length.
Serial / Console Port
The unit has four RJ45 ports. All ports can be used to connect a serial device. When used
to connect a serial device, the ports can operate in EIA-232, EIA-422 or EIA-485 mode.
When port 1 is used to connect a console, the port can be used to fully configure and
manage the IOLAN. For details on how to connect to the serial ports see Connecting the
Serial Port .
For details on the serial port pin-out see Appendix D - Cabling and Connectors
Button/Switch Functions
Reset Button
The inset “Reset” button will reboot the IOLAN if pushed in and released quickly. It will
reset the IOLAN to factory defaults if pushed in and held for more than three seconds.
For more details on the operation of the Reset button see “Resetting the IOLAN ”
Console / Serial DIP Switch
Serial port 1 can act as a console port or a serial port. The mode of operation is deter-
mined by the position of the “console/serial port” DIP switch. The DIP is set in the fac-
tory to serial (up position). Unless you plan to attach a console to the IOLAN, leave the
DIP switch in the serial position. In console mode, this port can be used to provide access
to the IOLAN management function using the industry standard CLI command set (see
Console Port Mode ).
See the IOLAN Command Line Interface Reference Guide for a complete set of the com-
mands available via the console.

Installation
General Cautions and Warnings
Warning: Power sources must be off prior to beginning the power connection steps.
Read the installation instructions before you connect the unit to its power source.
Warning: Ensure that the voltage and current ratings of the intended power source are
appropriate for the IOLAN as indicated on the product label.
Warning: Ensure that the installation and electrical wiring of the equipment is performed
by trained and qualified personnel and that the installation complies with all local and
national electrical codes.
Warning: The working voltage inputs are designed for operation with Safety extra low
Voltage (SELV). Connect only to SELV circuits with voltage restrictions in line with IEC/EN
60950-1:2005 (2nd Edition) + A1:2009 and EN 60950-1: 2006 + A11:2009
Warning: If this equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Warning: Transient protection shall be provided that is set at a level not exceeding 140%
of the peak rated voltage value at the supply terminals to the equipment.

Connecting the Hardware
Power
Either the barrel or TB (Terminal Block) can be used to power the SDG4 L.
Connecting the barrel connector
Plug the power adapter into a power socket and connect the barrel connector end into
the IOLAN SDG2 L. The IOLAN will perform a power up sequence. The Power/Ready LED
should show a solid green. See LED Indicators for power up sequence.
Connecting the terminal block connector
1. Ensure power is NOT applied to the wires prior to connection.
2. On each end wire (12-20 AWG), remove the insulation from the copper wire 5 mm (3/
16 of an inch).
3. Loosen the left screw on the top of the terminal connector block, then insert your
positive (+) wire into the left terminal and screw it down tight (.51Nm torque).
Loosen the right screw on the top of the terminal connector block, then insert your
negative (-) wire into the right terminal and screw it down tight (.51Nm torque).
4. Re-insert the terminal block connector if removed.
Grounding and Power Cord Relief clip
If your installation requires additional grounding, follow this procedure.
Grounding the chassis requires the following items:
• One grounding lug (not provided)
• One 12AWG wire (not provided)
Follow the manufacturers instructions for attaching the ground wire to the grounding
lug.
1. Attach the grounding lug to the chassis and secure with the grounding screw
provided. See Figure 1.
2. Attach the power cord relief clip as shown in Figure 2.
