In DeviceManager, select Tools, Upload Configuration from IOLAN. The working configuration file will automatically be loaded into the DeviceManager.

Downloading IOLAN Firmware

To upgrade the IOLAN firmware (software):

zIn DeviceManager, select Tools, Advanced, Download Firmware to IOLAN. You can browse to the firmware location. Once the firmware download is complete, you will be prompted to reboot the IOLAN. You can choose to reboot the IOLAN at another time by selecting Tools,

Reset, Reboot IOLAN.

zIn WebManager, under the Administration option, select Update Firmware. Either browse to the firmware file and then click the Upload button or configure the TFTP server and click the Upload button. Note: If you use the TFTP option, the specified TFTP server must be on the same subnet as the IOLAN.

Upgrading the firmware does not affect the IOLAN’s configuration file or downloaded custom files.
