Resetting the SecurID Node Secret

If you are using SecurID external authentication, you can select Tools, Reset, Reset SecurID Node

Secret in DeviceManager and Administration, Reset, SecurID Secret in WebManager to reset the

node secret. You do not need to reboot the IOLAN for this to take effect, it works instantly.

Two language files, in addition to English, are supplied on the supplemental CD, French and German.

You can use any of these language files to create a translation into a language of your choice. You

can download the language file (whether the lan guage is supplied or translated) into the IOLAN and

select the Language option of Custom Langua g e or Customlang (custom language), making the

Menu and CLI field labels display in the desired language.

You can view Menu or CLI in one other language only (as well as English). If you download another

language file, this new language will replace th e first langu age you downloaded.

You can revert to English at any time; the English language is stored permanentl y in the IOLAN and

is not overwritten by your new language. Each user logged into the IOLAN can operate in either

English or the downloaded language.

This section describes how to download a language file using th e CLI, since it is the least in tuitive

method. French and German language files are provided on the supplemental CD.

To load one of the supplied languages into the IOLAN, so the Menu or CLI fields appear in another

language, do the following:

1. Open the supplemental CD and identify the language file, either Iolan_ds_French.txt or

Iolan_ds_German.txt, or supply one of your own translated files.

2. Copy the language file to a host machine on the network; place it in the main file system or on

the main hard drive.

3. Either use the TFTP defaults in the IOLAN or, configure as necessary, TFTP in the IOLAN.

4. In the CLI of the IOLAN, enter the host IP address and fi le name; for example,

netload cu stomlang 172. 16.4.1 /temp/I olan_ds_Frenc h.txt

The IOLAN will download the language file via TFTP.

In DeviceManager select Tools, Advanced, Custom Files and then select Download Custom

Language F ile and browse to the language file. In WebManager select Administration, Custom

Files and then specify the Custom Language File option and browse to the language file.

5. To set an individual user to the new language, go to the Users menu and, in the Language field

select Customlang. In the CLI (only) you can set individual users or all users to the new

language; see the set user * command.

6. The user will see the change of language when he/she logs out (Main Menu, Sessions Menu,

Logout) and logs back into the IOLAN. If, as Admin user, you change your language setting to

Customlang, you will see the text menus display in the new language when you save and exit

the Change User form. Users with Level Normal can also change their display language.

Note: If you download a new software version, you can continue to use your language unchanged;

however, we recommend translating the new strings, which will be added to the end of the

language file. A Reset to Factory Defaults will reload the Customlang as English.

On successful download, the Customlang in the IOLAN will be overwritten by the new

language.
