Introduction

There are several different configuration methods available to configure the IOLAN (see Chapter 3, Configuration Methods on page 43 for more information). This chapter describes the three main minimal configuration requirements for the IOLAN through either Easy Config Wizard (cannot configure users using this method), DeviceManager, or WebManager:

1.Setting up the network—This minimally consists of configuring an IP address or enabling DHCP/BOOTP. Once the IOLAN has an IP address, you can use any configuration method.

2.Setting up the serial ports—You will want to select the serial port profile that matches the serial port requirement/scenario for your serial device.

3.Setting up users—This is an optional step, which is only required when your implementation requires users to access the IOLAN and you are not using external authentication.

Easy Configuration Wizard

The Easy Config Wizard quickly sets up the IOLAN’s network configuration and all serial ports to one of the following:

zConsole Management—Allows users on the network to connect to a serial device that is connected to a serial port on the IOLAN.
