Using DeviceManager and WebManager 91
Managing the IOLAN
Opening an Existing Configuration File
If you select the File, Open, a browse window is opened so you can select the configuration file you
want to edit. IOLAN configuration files saved in the DeviceManager can be in the IOLAN-native
binary format (.dme) or as a text file (.txt), which can be edited with a text editor. Either
configuration version can be imported into the DeviceManager. IOLAN configuration files saved
from WebManager can also be opened into DeviceManager.
Importing an Existing Configuration File
If you have a local, saved configuration file that you want to download to the IOLAN, you must first
connect to the IOLAN that you want to download the configuration file to. Once you have
successfully logged into the IOLAN, in DeviceManager select Tools , Import Configuration from a
File and in WebManager select Administration, Restore/Backup. You need to download the file in
DeviceManager and in both managers you need to reboot the IOLAN.
Managing the IOLANMost of the management tasks, such as setting the time/date, downloading keys/certificates,
downloading firmware, downloading custom files, resetting serial ports, etc., are found under the
Tools menu option in the DeviceManager and under Administration in WebManager.
