Using DeviceManager to Connect to the IOLAN

Using DeviceManager to Connect to the IOLAN

DeviceManager can connect to existing IOLANs or assign an IP address to a new IOLAN. Whenever you connect to the IOLAN through the DeviceManager, you connect as the Admin user and must supply the password for the Admin user.

Starting a New Session

To start a new session and connect to the IOLAN using the DeviceManager:

1.Start the DeviceManager by selecting Start, All Programs, Perle, DeviceManager,

DeviceManager.

2.When the DeviceManager starts, it searches the network for IOLANs.

Note: If you are not seeing IPv6 addresses in the list (you must expand the entry), see IPv6 Issues on page 400 to find out how to install IPv6 support.

If your IOLAN is not in the local network and you do not have a multicast enabled router in your network and therefore is not displayed in the selectable list, but can be pinged from your PC, you can add it to the selectable list by clicking the Add button.

Click the Add button and type in the IOLAN’s IP address; this field supports IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Click the Close button when you have completed adding all the manual entries. Select the manually added server to connect to it.
