Chapter 2. Hardware Installation
Use the following procedures to install the IO-Link Master hardware:
•2.1. Setting the Rotary Switch
•2.2. Mounting the IO-Link Master on Page 8
•2.1. Setting the Rotary Switch on Page 7
•2.4. Connecting the Power on Page 10
•2.5. IO-Link Master LEDs on Page 12
After connecting the IO-Link Master to the network, perform the following tasks:
•Configure the network information, refer to Chapter 3. Initial Configuration on Page 13
•Configure the port characteristics, refer to Chapter 5. IO-Link Port Configuration on Page 31
•Connect the IO-Link devices to the IO-Link Master, refer to Chapter 6. Connecting Devices on Page 45.
2.1. Setting the Rotary Switch
You can use the rotary switches under the configuration window on the IO-Link Master to set the lower
3digits (8 bits) of the static IP address.
If the rotary switches are set to a non-default position, the upper 9 digits (24 bits) of the IP address are then
taken from the static network address and DHCP maybe disabled. The switches only take effect during
startup, but the current position is always shown on the Help/SUPPORT web page.
Optionally, you can leave the rotary switch set to the default and use the web interface or PortVision DX to set
the network address.
Note: If you set the network address using the rotary switches, the Rotary Switch setting overrides the network
settings in the web interface.
Switch SettingNode Address
Use the network configuration stored in the flash. The default network
configuration values are:
•IP address = 192.168.1.250
000
(Default setting)
001-254
255-887Reserved.
888Reset to factory defaults.
889-997Use the network configuration values stored in the flash (reserved).
998Use DHCP addressing.
999Use the default IP address.
After completing the hardware installation, see Chapter 3. Initial
Configuration on Page 13 to set the network address using the web
interface or PortVision DX.
This is the last three digits in the IP address. This uses the first three
numbers from the configured static address, which defaults to
192.168.1.xxx.
Mounting the IO-Link Master
The default value is 000 as shown above.
The arrow points to the switch location. 0 is located at the 3:00
position. Turn the dial clockwise to the appropriate setting.
Use the following steps if you want to change the default rotary switch settings.
1. Remove the two phillips screws.
2. Gently swing open the configuration window from the left to the right, allowing it pivot on the hinge on
the right side.
3. Turn each dial to the appropriate position using a small flathead screwdriver.
4. Carefully close the window making sure that is properly aligned.
5. Reinsert the two screws making sure that the window is securely sealed.
Note: Failure to reassemble the configuration window properly may permit leakage.
2.2. Mounting the IO-Link Master
Use the following procedure to mount the IO-Link Master. The IO-Link Master can be installed on a
mounting panel or a machine.
1. Verify that the mounting surface is level (flat) to prevent mechanical stress to the IO-Link Master.
2. Attach the IO-Link Master to the surface with two 6mm screws and washers.
a. Attach the grounding strap to chassis or earth ground.
b. Torque down to 8Nm.
Note: Make sure that you connect the FE terminal at low impedance to function ground to meet EMC
standards.
2.3. Connecting to the Network
The IO-Link Master provides two Fast Ethernet (10/100BASE-TX) M12 connections (4pin female /D-coded).
PinSignal
1Tx+
2Rx+
3Tx4Rx-
You can use this procedure to connect the IO-Link Master to the network.
1. Securely connect one end of the M12 Ethernet cable to EIP 1 or EIP 2.
2. Connect the other end to the network.

Connecting to the Network
3. Optionally, you can use the other Ethernet port to daisy-chain to another Ethernet device.
4. If you did not connect both Ethernet ports, make sure that screw on a connector cap, which was shipped
with the IO-Link Master to keep dust and liquids from getting in the connector.
Note: Ethernet ports must have an approved cable or protective cover attached to the port guarantee IP67
The IO-Link Master provides dual M12 (A-coded) power connectors.

1. Securely attach the power cable between the male power connector and the power supply.
2. Either attach a power cable between the female power connector and another device to which you want to
provide power or securely attach a connector cap to prevent dust or liquids from getting into the
connector. Connector caps were shipped with the IO-Link Master.
3. Apply the power and verify that the following LEDs are lit indicating that you are ready to begin
configuration.
•PWR
•MS, first the flashing green and red LEDs displays that it is in self-test mode. After the self-test,
depending on whether you set the IP address with the rotary switch one of the following occurs:
-The green LED is flashing to indicate that it is in standby mode.
-The green LED is lit to indicate that it is operational.
•NET, first it flashes green and red indicating that it is in self-test mode. After the self-test, depending
on whether you set the IP address with the rotary switch one of the following occurs:
-Off indicates there is no IP address

Chapter 3. Initial Configuration
If you used the rotary switch to set the IP address (2.1. Setting the Rotary Switch on Page 7), then you still
must configure the upper 9 digits (24 bits) of the IP address using PortVision DX or the web interface. You
may want to install PortVision DX to access and manage your IO-Link Masters.
This section discusses IP address configuration options using one of these methods:
•PortVision DX (below)
•Web interface (Page 19)
Use the web page, if you want to configure the following:
-Host name
-DNS servers
-Syslog Server IP/Host name
-Syslog Port
-SSH Server Enable
Note: You can use PortVision DX to configure the IP address information and then use the web interface
to configure the options not configurable in PortVision DX.
In addition, this section discusses setting up passwords
After you configure the network settings, you can configure the port characteristics, refer to Chapter 5.

3.1. Using PortVision DX
This subsection contains the following topics:
•3.1.1. PortVision DX Overview
•3.1.2. Installing PortVision DX on Page 15
•3.1.3. Programming the IP Address on Page 17
3.1.1. PortVision DX Overview
PortVision DX automatically detects Comtrol Ethernet attached products physically attached to the local
network segment so that you can configure the network address, upload firmware, access product
configuration web pages, and manage the following products:
•DeviceMaster family
•IO-Link Master
•RocketLinx managed switches
In addition to identifying Comtrol Ethernet attached products, you can use PortVision DX to display any
third-party switch and hardware that may be connected directly to those devices. All non-Comtrol products
and unmanaged RocketLinx devices are treated as non-intelligent devices and have limited feature support.
For example, you cannot configure or update firmware on a third-party switch.
After PortVision DX is installed and the network has been scanned for Comtrol devices, the devices are
displayed in the Scan Results folder as shown in the following graphic.
You can use the PortVision DX help system to learn how to organize your devices.
