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 53 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.

Connecting to the IOLAN Using WebManager

Before you can connect to the IOLAN using WebManager, the IOLAN must already be configured with a known IP address; see Setting Up the Network on page 46 to configure an IP address on your

IOLAN.

To connect to the IOLAN through the WebManager:

1.Open your web browser and type in the IP address of the IOLAN that you want to manage/configure and press Enter; for example: http://123.123.123.123.

2.If you successfully connect to the IOLAN, a login screen will appear.

3.If you are accessing the IOLAN in non-secure HTTP, just type in the Admin password (the factory default password is superuser)
