# AE-1000 Hardware

## Installation

The AE-1000 is a 1RU product intended to be permanently installed in a standard 19½” equipment rack and secured with four standard rack screws. It is a fanless, passively cooled design and whenever possible, it is recommended to leave 1RU of empty space above and below the unit.

## Power

Connect the included 12VDC power supply to the power connection on the rear of the unit. There is no power switch; power is applied as soon as the unit is plugged into a mains source.

## Network Connection

Connect the Primary Ethernet port on the rear of the AE1000 to a 1GB port on your PC. Set the PC’s Ethernet port to 192.168.2.10.

The default IP address of the AE-1000 is 192.168.2.29.

Using your preferred web browser, enter the AE-1000’s IP address into the URL field. When prompted for authentication, enter the user name “user” and leave the password field blank. The iQs Status screen will be displayed.

Click on the **System > Setup link** (A) in the left-hand menu and enter the **Hostname, IP address, Netmask,** and **Gateway** (B) as appropriate for your application, then click the **Save button** (C).

Disconnect the network connection to the PC and connect the AE-1000 to your network. We recommend writing the IP address on the back panel label for easy reference.
