Using DeviceManager and WebManager 89

Using WebManager to Connect to the IOLAN

WebManager can only connect to IOLANs that already have an assigned IP address. To connect to

the IOLAN, type the IP address of the IOLAN into the

Address field as such:

http://10.10.234.34.

You will see the login screen.

Logging into the IOLAN

Type in the Admin password in the Password field and click the Login button. A user who does not

have admin privileges can access EasyPort Web to access clustered serial ports, Perle Remote Power

Switches (RPS), and/or RPS plugs (must already be configured on this IOLAN) by typing their user

name and password on the login screen.

Configuration Files

Creating a New IOLAN Configuration in DeviceManager

In DeviceManager, when you select File, New, the New Configuration window is displayed.

Select the IOLAN model for which you want to create a new configuration file. Any configuration

file created in this manner can only be save locally. To download a created configuration file, you

must first connect to the IOLAN, import the created configuration file into DeviceManager (this is

not available in WebManager), and then download the configuration file to the IOLAN and reboot it.
