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 IOLAN

Most 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.
