WebManager

Overview

The WebManager is a web-browser based method of configuring/managing the IOLAN. It follows the same design as the DeviceManager, so it is easy to switch between the WebManager and DeviceManager when configuring your IOLAN. See Chapter 5, Using DeviceManager and WebManager on page 73 for information on configuring/managing the IOLAN with DeviceManager.

Access Platforms

You can access the IOLAN through WebManager from any system that can run a web browser. WebManager can be accessed by the admin user or any user who has Admin Level privileges.

Unique Features

WebManager supports the following unique features:

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.

zFrom WebManager, you can launch EasyPort Web, which can be used to: z access clustered IOLANs

z access ports configured with the Console Server profile and launch an SSH or Telnet session to those console ports

z exercise power management capability (when using the Perle Remote Power Switch)
