DeviceManager

Overview

The DeviceManager is a Windows-based application that can be used to connect to the IOLAN to actively manage and configure it or can create new IOLAN configurations offline. See Chapter 5, Using DeviceManager and WebManager on page 83 for information on configuring/managing the IOLAN with DeviceManager.

Access Platforms

The DeviceManager can be run from Windows 98/NT/2000/ME/Server 2003/XP/Server 2008/Vista. DeviceManager can be installed from the product CD-ROM or downloaded from the Perle website. Unless the IOLAN has already been configured with a Gateway, DeviceManager can only access IOLANs in the local subnet. The DeviceManager can be accessed by only the admin user.

Features

DeviceManager supports the following features:

zThe ability to download the same configuration file to several IOLANs in one operation.

zThe ability to save a configuration file locally in text format, in addition to the binary format.

zThe ability to create a configuration file without being connected to the IOLAN.

zThe ability to open a session to the IOLAN and download a (saved) configuration file to it.

zThe ability to download/upload keys/certificates to/from the IOLAN.

zThe ability to download custom files, such as new terminal definitions and a custom language files to the IOLAN.

Connecting to the IOLAN Using DeviceManager

Before you can use DeviceManager, you need to install it on your Windows operating system from the IOLAN CD-ROM or you can download it from the Perle website. After the DeviceManager application is installed, click Start, All Programs, Perle, DeviceManager, DeviceManager to start the application. When you launch the DeviceManager, it will scan the network for IOLANs:
