IBR-10™ Installation Guide
for ELIOS™ Software Version 0500
his guide presents procedures for a standard installation of the IBR-10™.
Note: The screens shown in this document are examples; the choices shown on your IBR-10’s menus
depend on the features in the chassis and on the software version installed in the device. (For figures,
tables, and configurations not addressed in this Quick Installation Guide, see the VPN and Legacy-to-IP
Products Customization and Maintenance Guide or the VPN and Legacy-to-IP Products Hardware Reference
Guide.)
Gather all required information. Before you start these procedures, make sure you have all the information
required to set up the IBR-10 for use in your network—for example, the device’s IP address, the device’s
configuration, and network and routing functions that the device will perform. Use the site planning
worksheets in the VPN and Legacy-to-IP Products Customization and Maintenance Guide as checklists for this
information.
If you have questions or concerns after you have followed these procedures, contact Encore Networks, Inc.,
at support@encorenetworks.com, 703-318-4350 (voice), or 703-318-4371 (fax).
A Setting Up the Hardware
1 Unpack the chassis and components from the shipping box. Make sure you have all the parts:
the chassis (Figure 1), an autosensing external power supply, an RJ-45 Supervisory cable, an adapter for
the Supervisory cable (described in the Note in Step 7), a paper copy of this Quick Installation Guide, a
CD containing customer documentation for the VPN and Legacy-to-IP products, and any additional
accessories that you ordered.
Note: Shipments within North America include a power cable. For shipments outside North America,
contact your distributor for a cable that meets local requirements to connect the BANDIT’s power
supply to a power outlet.

2 Place the IBR-10 chassis on a tabletop or shelf.
3 Connect an earth ground wire to the chassis, as follows: Attach a (minimum) 12 AWG wire to the earth
ground screw to the right of the safety ground symbol, on the extreme right rear of the chassis
(Figure 2). Use a ring terminal, such as an AMP (part number 36160), for this connection.

4 Connect the IBR-10’s ports to their network devices.
5 Connect the chassis to the external power supply.
6 Then connect the external power supply to an outlet supplying 100–240 VAC at 47–63 Hz.
7 Use the Supervisory cable and adapter to connect the device’s Supervisory port to your PC’s COM
port.
Note: An eight-pin modular (RJ-45) to DB-9 adapter is the standard adapter to connect the
Supervisory cable to a PC. This adapter is shipped with the unit. The following alternate
adapters are also available. (Contact Encore Networks, Inc., if you need either of these adapters.)
• An RJ-45 to DB-25 adapter for connection to most asynchronous terminals
• An RJ-45 to DB-25 modem adapter to connect a modem for out-of-band management or remote
configuration
B Logging In
1 On the PC, open a terminal emulation session, such as HyperTerminal. Use the settings in Table 1
to establish communication between the terminal console and the IBR-10.
2 On the terminal console, press Enter to autoconnect to the attached device.
❖ After successful log-in, the Main Menu appears.

• Section D.3, Ports
• Section E.4, Virtual Private Network Connections
• Section D.4, IP Configuration
• Section D.5, Simple Network Management Protocol
D.1 Startup Configuration
The menu provides several templates for configurations that your network may use. You can select a
template (also known as a startup scenario), change the scenario’s IP addresses and related
information to reflect the values in your network, and load the scenario into the IBR-10.
Note: If you want the device to keep the configured scenario, be sure to write the configuration and
reset the device.
To configure a basic setup for this device in your network, do the following:
1 On the Main Menu, select QuickStart Config Builders.
