1               INTRODUCTION

1.2             The IR version is designed for up to 10 users (10 IP Addresses), whilst the BR version has
                  unlimited users. Both units have the same bandwidth and throughput. They look identical and the
                  only way to tell the difference is to enter the set-up menus and look for the IPX Set-up facility. The
                  IR does not have this facility, the BR does.

                  Note it is possible to upgrade an IR to BR specification..

1.3             The SOHO units are small, approx 4.5 in wide by 6in deep by 1.5in high; coloured black with four
                  LED’s in line across the front. See over.

1.4             The SOHO has one LAN interface (MIDI & MIDIX) and one WAN interface. There is also the
                  console connection. All connections are RJ45.

1.5             The SOHO will interface with other Chase products including the Chase IO-LINK-PRO, and the
                  IO-LINK-CENTRAL.

2                 MEC IDENTITY
                   The MEC ID is CHASE-IOLINK-SOHO-IR and CHASE-IOLINK-SOHO-BR

3                 CABLE SPECS see diagram on page 15

                    RJ45 connectors for the ISDN WAN, LAN & for the Console.
                    Console EDP Cable Type KJ.
                    WAN EDP Cable Type JF (MIDI)

                    LAN EDP Cable Type JF or JP (MIDIX).

4                 FRONT & REAR VIEWS

5                 SOHO CONFIGURATION

5.1             Connect a VDU set to 9600 8-1-N & VT100, to the Console Port with a Cable Type KJ.

5.2             Power on the IOLINK-SOHO and view the Start-up Testing and Initialising Sequence on the VDU
                  Screen. At the prompt Press ENTER to access console, enter <CR>

5.3             At Enter Terminal type: vt100 <CR>
                  At LOGIN MENU Select 1 Login
                  At Password prompt Enter BRIDGE <CR> This is case sensitive.

5.5             All configurations are menu driven

5.6             To Clear A Lost Password

5.6.1          Remove the power from the SOHO.

6                 CONVENTIONS USED

6.1             The Menu System is in the form of a tree shown over.
                  To go forwards through the Menu System Enter the Option Number required, usually you do not
                  need to follow this with a <CR>.

6.2            To select an option enter the Option number and enter the required input. If the input is fixed
                 options, then these will be displayed; just enter enough of the characters for it to be unique. i.e. jun
                 for june, but only d for december. For options like IP addresses they must be entered in full.
                 Most entries require a <CR> to terminate data input. Any entry that is not acceptable , like an out
                 of range IP Address, will be identified as unacceptable and you will be invited to try again.
                 To toggle between two options e.g. enabled and disabled, just enter the option number, and it
                 will prompt "yes" to enable/disable parameter. Enter yes <CR> to complete the toggle.

6.4            At the end of each sequence it is advisable to save the configuration , From the Main Menu select
                 the option Save configuration. When completed Configuration saved will be displayed at the
                 bottom of the screen.
                 On completion of all set-ups Save configuration and also carry out a soft reset, from the Main
                 Menu select Diagnostics and then Soft reset.

6.5            A Soft reset can be used to reset some minor problems.

6.6            NOTE, there may be some variation in menus and the menu numbers between different
                 units, which is why the set-up procedures do not give the numbers, but do give the
                 option description.

7                REQUIREMENTS
                  Before a SOHO can be configured the following must be available:-
                  Network diagram of the complete network
                  Name (preferrably geographical ie.HULL) of both Routers.
                  IP Address and Subnet Mask of both Routers.
                  ISDN number of both Routers.
                  Type of ISDN line.
                  Type of Routing Protocol, which MUST be the same at both ends.
                  {The Routing Protocol is especially important where the device at the other end is
                  not a Chase 130, if the Protocols are not harmonised then the link will not work.
                  The usual options are rip2 or None + static routes]

                   After a Full Reset you will be prompted for the Terminal Type, Enter vt100 <CR>

9                 PART OF MENU TREE

10            A typical network is shown at the end of the FECO, and it can be easier to identify sites by their
                 geographical names.
                 The convention used is to nominate one site as the MAIN and the other as the REMOTE. There
                 are differences in their configurations.
                 Each site will probably be different, but a sample configuration is detailed below.

11             TYPICAL SET-UP FOR THE NETWORK DIAGRAM SHOWN is detailed below. NOTE.
                 For ANY other network there may, sorry WILL, be differences.
