Install ION 2000
Set Up the ION 2000 by Replacing the Router
In control mode, you replace the exisng router with the ION 2000 as a drop-in replacement for
a WAN router. This mode is most useful for saving cost at new sites that are designed without a
tradional router.
STEP 1 | Prepare the cabling of the ION 2000 to the rest of the network.
Ensure that internet access via broadband or a temporary private network connecon is
available at the site to allow for remote configuraon of the ION 2000.
STEP 2 | Mount the ION 2000 in the desired installaon locaon before powering on or making any
network modificaons.
STEP 3 | Connect the power cable to the ION device and then plug the device power cable into an AC
power outlet.
STEP 4 | Power on the ION 2000 device.
When the device is powered on, the power indicator turns green.
