2 Installation
The TA2020B and IR2110B are designed for indoor use (office or home). The router
should be positioned on a smooth, level surface making sure that there is adequate
ventilation. Do not expose the router to extremes of heat or cold, strong magnetic fields or
liquids.
Step 1 – Connecting the serial cable
For connection to a serial terminal device, connect the 25-way D plug on the serial cable
provided to the SERIAL connector on the rear of the unit. Connect the other end of the
cable (9-way D socket) to the terminal. If the serial connector on the terminal is not a 9-
way D plug, you will need a suitable adapter.
Step 2 – Connecting the LAN cable (if applicable)
Plug one end of one of the supplied 2 metre CAT5 cable into the RJ45 socket labelled
LAN 0. Plug the other end into the LAN socket on your PC or notebook.
Step 3 – Connecting the power supply
Plug the jack plug on the mains adapter into the socket labelled 12V DC. When power is
first applied, the ON indicator will illuminate and the unit will initiate a series of diagnostic
self-tests. During this process one or more of the other indicators, will flash to show that
the unit is busy. When the flashing stops, the unit is ready to use.
