IOLan Console Server
(https://www.perle.com/products/iolan-scs-terminal-server.shtml) The IOLan Console Server allows for connections from Computers to Network devices while utilizing the device's console port. This means that instead of protecting a device from multiple attack vectors you can protect and connect to one device that will allow connections to its connected devices through an easy to use web interface. The specific Console Server being used by 24PinTech is an IOLAN model (one of the industry leaders).
Connecting and Using the Server
Initial Connection
- Download the 'iolan_easyconfig_v4.9.4.7.exe' file from the 'IOLAN' folder on \\logan
- Run the IOLAN easyconfig program
- Plug the IOLAN Device into both Power and the Network your system is on through either of the Ethernet ports
- Hit next and allow for the program to go over the firewall if prompted
- It will then list out any available IOLAN devices
- Select the device that you wish to configure and hit next. (as pictured)
- Allow the 'Device Manager TFTP server' to run through the Firewall if prompted
- Here you can Change the system name and IP settings (as pictured)
- Leave all of the settings ALONE and hit the download button
- Click Finish on the last page
- Reopen the Program
- Hit next on the first page, The next page will have the IP Address of the Device Listed (as pictured)
- Connect to that IP address in your browser
- This will verify that the connection and initial configuration was successful.
Configuration
- Connect to the Device (you can look to find out how to do this in the above section 'Initial Connection)
- After signing in, the Page pictured will pop up.
- From here you can select 'Serial' and change the protocols that each serial connection use, or go to 'Security' and change what protocols are running on the system to better protect it.
Connecting to Network Devices
In order to successfully connect to the Network Devices you need to use a rollover type Ethernet cable.
However, In order to get a connection from the computer to server then you need to use a standard Ethernet cable connected to the network that the target system is on. The server can however be connected to more than one network as it has two Ethernet connections. Which allows for more than one network to connect to the server.
