• The IPLink contains no user serviceable parts. The equipment shall be
returned to Patton Electronics for repairs, or repaired by qualified
service personnel.
• Mains Voltage: Line voltages are present when the power cord is connected. The mains outlet shall be within 10 feet (3 meters) of the
device, shall be easily accessible, and protected by a circuit breaker.
• For AC powered units, ensure that the power cable used meets all
applicable standards for the country in which it is to be installed, and
that it is connected to a wall outlet which has earth ground.
• Hazardous network voltages are present in WAN ports, regardless of
whether power to the IPLink is ON or OFF. To avoid electric shock,
use caution when near WAN ports. When detaching the cables, detach
the end away from the IPLink first.
• Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during
periods of lightning activity.
• For units with an external power adapter, the adapter shall be a
listed Limited Power Source.
1.0 Powering up the IPLink
The interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for external use and shall be rated for
the proper application with respect to voltage, current, anticipated temperature, flammability, and mechanical serviceability.

2.0 Setting the IP address
2.1 Default IP configuration
The factory default IP settings are as follows:
LAN port(s) (green, ETH 0/1): IP address: 192.168.1.1, netmask: 255.255.255.0
•
WAN port (red, ETH 0/0): IP address and netmask: DHCP client
•
A DHCP server with address space 192.168.1.10–192.168.1.99 (netmask: 255.255.255.0) is running on the
•
LAN ports
Both Ethernet ports are pre-configured and active
•
If these addresses conflict or do not match with your network they must be changed. Contact your network
administrator if you are not sure which IP address to use in your installation.
2.2 Connecting to the PC and logging in
1.
To access the IPLink configuration, connect a PC with an Ethernet port to one of the LAN ports (green)
(see
figure 1
). Use the black Ethernet cable included with your IPLink for this purpose.

2.3 Changing the IP address
When you connect the WAN interface
address/netmask from the WAN network’s DHCP server. However you can change the configuration of the

from DHCP client to a fixed IP address as follows. In this example, we assume a private network since the IP
eth 0/0
, the WAN port operates as a DHCP client and acquires its IP
Eth
address changes to 172.16.1.100 with netmask of 255.255.255.0.
1.
Select the context IP mode to configure an IP interface.
2803/K/EUI(cfg)#
2803/K/EUI(ctx-ip)[router]#
2.
Set your IP address and network mask on the WAN IP interface
Store this modified configuration and make it your new start-up configuration. On the next start-up the
interface eth0

system will come up using the modified configuration.
172.16.1.100(if-ip)[eth0]#
172.16.1.100(if-ip)[eth0]#
Now the IPLink can be connected to your IP network. Remember that if

remains as a DHCP client, it gets
the IP address from your IP network’s DHCP server. If you changed the IP address as we showed in this example,
it assumes your IP network (actually Ethernet segment) is on the same subnet, 192.16.1.0/24.

You may now start to configure the IPLink using the CLI commands. For a detailed description of the CLI refer to
the getting started guide (GSG) available on the CD-ROM and online at
www.patton.com
.
4.0 Connecting the IPLink serial port
If your IPLink is equipped with a serial WAN port, connect it to the appropriate DCE. The IPLink 2800 Series is
available with the following serial interfaces:
V.35 (DB-25)—Model 2835
•
•
X.21 (DB-15)—Model 2821
•
E1 (RJ48C or dual coaxial connectors)—Model 2803/K
•
T1 (RJ48C)—Model 2803/T
For the V.35 and X.21 serial ports, do the following to connect the serial cable to the IPLink:
1.
Attach the male connector of the serial cable to the female serial connector on the router.
2.
Attach the other end of the cable to the serial connector on local serial modem or multiplexer device.
IPLink 2800 Quick Start Guide

Note
The router’s V.35 interface is wired as a DCE. No DTE configuration is possible. If you are directly connecting the router’s V.35 interface to third-party equipment that cannot be configured as a DTE, you
must use a tail-circuit cable. You can purchase a tail-circuit cable from a datacom-supply vendor. A tailcircuit cable will cross-over the necessary V.35 signals so that the two DCE interfaces can communicate.
Note
The router’s X.21 interface is wired as a DCE. No DTE configuration is possible. The router’s X.21 interface requires a cable with a male DB-15 connector.
For the IPLink’s T1/E1 WAN port, connect to an E1 service as follows:
1.
Your incoming E1 connection will be either a twisted pair cable terminated with an RJ48C plug or two
coaxial cables. (T1 is RJ48C only.)
— If an RJ48C plug, plug the cable into the RJ48C connector between the two coaxial connectors on
the rear of the IPLink.
— If two coaxial cables, plug the coaxial cables into the RX and TX connectors on the rear of the
IPLink. The RX is an input and the TX is an output.
2.
The T1/E1 port default is disabled. Enable the T1/E1 port.
The configuration of the enabled T1/E1 port is displayed. The defaults for the E1 are Master clocking, Line Code
HDB3, Framing CRC4, Impedance 120 Ohms. This is for connecting to the RJ48C.
For modifying the T1/E1 port configuration, consult the
site:
