ATTENTION 
This product is intended to be supplied by a Listed Power Unit and output marked with “LPS” 
and rated 12-48 VDC, 580 mA (minimum requirements). 
Connecting the IA241/240 to a PC 
There are two ways to connect the IA241/240 to a PC: through the Serial Console port or via 
Telnet over the network. 
Serial Console 
The serial console port gives users a convenient way of connecting to the IA241/240’s console 
utility. This method is particularly useful when using the computer for the first time. The signal is 
transmitted over a direct serial connection, so you do not need to know either of its two IP 
addresses in order to connect to the serial console utility. 
Use the serial console port settings shown below.
