IOLAN+ Interface

IOLAN+ Interface

Overview

For environments that have both IOLAN and IOLAN+ models or for users who prefer to configure using the IOLAN+ Menu or CLI, the IOLAN+ user interface is available. The IOLAN+ interface is supported on all IOLAN SDS, SCS, and STS models up to and including 16 serial ports.

Access Platforms

The Menu is accessed by any application that supports a Telnet or SSH session to the IOLAN’s IP address, such as Putty, SecureCRT, or from a command prompt. You can also access the Menu from a dumb terminal or PC connected to a serial port.

Connecting to the IOLAN to Use the IOLAN+ Interface

To connect the IOLAN to using the IOLAN+ interface, follow the directions for Connecting to the IOLAN Using the CLI on page 60.

Using the IOLAN+ Interface

After you have successfully logged in to the IOLAN, you can type iolan+ at the CLI command prompt to access the IOLAN+ configuration menu (you must have User Level Normal or Admin).

Note: The IOLAN and the IOLAN+ admin user share the same password. The default admin password is superuser (not iolan).

If you choose to use the IOLAN+ configuration interface, you should always configure the IOLAN using the IOLAN+ interface. The IOLAN/IOLAN+ fields do not map directly between the two interfaces. If you configure a field in the IOLAN configuration interface to a value that is invalid in the IOLAN+ interface and then attempt to use the IOLAN+ interface, the invalid field value will show up as ****** (all asterisks), although the IOLAN will interpret the value as valid.
