2.4 Hardware installation
The installation of the LANCOM VPN base station takes place in the following
steps:
Only LANCOM
8011 VPN
Mounting – If desired, mount the device into a free slot of a 19” rack.
LAN – connect the LANCOM VPN to your LAN or to an individual PC. For
that purpose, plug the included network cable (green plugs) into the LAN
connector of the device and the other end into a free network connect-
ing socket of your local network, into a free socket of a hub/switch or into
the network socket of an individual PC.
The LAN connector identifies automatically the transfer rate (10/100
Mbps) of the connected network device (autosensing). A parallel connec-
tion of devices with different speeds and types is possible.
You should never have more than one unconfigured LANCOM VPN in
a network segment at any given time. All unconfigured LANCOM VPN
devices use the same IP address (with the final digits '254'), which
would result in an address conflict. To avoid problems, always config-
ure multiple LANCOM VPN devices one at a time, immediately assign-
ing each device a unique IP address (one that does not end with
'254').
The reset switch has two different functions depending on the length of time that it is
pressed:
Restarting the device (soft reset) – push the button for less than five seconds. The
device will restart.
Resetting the configuration (hard reset) – push the button for more than five seconds.
All the device's LEDs will light up green and stay on. As soon as the reset switch is
released, the device will restart with factory default settings.
