Page 29: Chapter 3 Configuration Methods
Configuration Methods Introduction This chapter provides information about the different methods you can use to configure the IOLAN. Before you can configure the IOLAN, you must assign an IP address to the IOLAN. See the 4, Getting Started on page 45 Once an IP address is assigned to the IOLAN, you can use any of the configuration methods to: Configure users.
Page 30: Configuration Methods Overview
Configuration Methods Overview Configuration Methods Overview Some of the IOLAN configuration methods have the capability of configuring an IP address, which is the first required configuration step for a new IOLAN. Once the IOLAN has been assigned an IP address, any of the configuration methods can be used to configure the IOLAN. Configures an IP Address Following is a list of methods for setting the IOLAN IP address and a short explanation of when you would want to use that method:...
Page 31: Easy Config Wizard
Easy Config Wizard The Easy Config Wizard is a configuration wizard that will configure all the serial ports on your IOLAN to one of the following: Console Management TruePort (Virtual COM Port) TCP Sockets (Raw TCP) Terminal Printer (not supported on DS1/TS2 models) Serial Tunneling You can launch the Easy Config Wizard from the Perle website or from the installation CD-ROM.

Page 50: Setting Up The Serial Port(S)
Setting Up the Serial Port(s) Setting Up the Serial Port(s) The DeviceManager and WebManager have the following serial port profiles that will simplify serial port setup: Console Management—The Console Management profile configures a serial port to provide network access to a console or administrative port. This profile sets up a serial port to support a TCP socket that listens for a Telnet connection from the network.
Page 51 Control Signal I/O—The Control Signal I/O profile enables the use of the EIA-232 serial port signal pins to be used as assigned Digital Inputs or Digital Outputs. Modbus Gateway—The Modbus Gateway profile configures a serial port to act as a Modbus Master Gateway or a Modbus Slave Gateway.
Page 52: Setting Up Users
Setting Up Users Setting Up Users When you have a user who is accessing a device connected to a serial port from the network or who is accessing the network from a device connected to a serial port through the IOLAN, you can create a user account and configure the user’s access privileges.
Page 53: Chapter 5 Using Devicemanager And Webmanager
Using DeviceManager and WebManager Introduction The DeviceManager and WebManager IOLAN managers have been designed to be very similar to use. DeviceManager is a Windows-based application and WebManager is a browser-based application. Both options use the IOLAN’s IP address to access the IOLAN; the DeviceManager can be used to assign an IP address to a new IOLAN and the WebManager requires that the IOLAN already have an IP address before it can be used to configure the IOLAN.
Page 54: Navigating Devicemanager/Webmanager
Navigating DeviceManager/WebManager Navigating DeviceManager/WebManager The DeviceManager and WebManager have very similar navigation methods. The left-hand side of the manager is the navigation tree and the center is the configuration area. The DeviceManager has menu and quick access buttons, whereas the WebManager has system information and some navigation options on the far right-hand side.
Page 55: Webmanager
WebManager The WebManager uses a expandable/collapsible buttons with folders and pages for the navigation tree. You can expand the buttons to view the folders and pages to see the available configuration options. When you access a configuration page, you can often navigate the tabs in the configuration area to access all of the configuration options.
Page 56: Using Devicemanager To Connect To The Iolan

Click the Download> the configuration download status. Uploading Configuration Files When you upload a configuration to the DeviceManager, you are uploading the IOLAN’s working configuration file. In most other configurators (the exception being SNMP), you are always seeing the working configuration file. In DeviceManager, select file will automatically be loaded into the DeviceManager.
Page 176: Calibrating I/O
Calibrating I/O Calibrating I/O All I/O channels are factory calibrated and should not need recalibration during initial use. However should calibration be required, you can recalibrate in DeviceManager or WebManager. In DeviceManager, you calibrate the I/O channel(s) by selecting WebManager, you calibrate the I/O channel(s) by selecting Calibrating Analog Input To calibrate an Analog input channel, read the section that applies to the type of input you are calibrating.
Page 177: Calibrating Rtd
Calibrating I/O Calibrating RTD When calibrating the IOLAN Analog input for RTD, you will need a resistor that is better than .05% Ohms accuracy. When you calibrate one channel, all RTD channels are automatically calibrated for that range; if another channel is set for a different range, you will need to calibrate that channel separately, but all channels that use that range are automatically calibrated.
Page 178: Resetting Calibration Data
Setting the IOLAN’s Date and Time Resetting Calibration Data You can reset the I/O channels calibrations to the factory calibrations in DeviceManager by selecting Tools I/O Channels I/O Calibration Setting the IOLAN’s Date and Time When you set the IOLAN’s time, the connection method and time zone settings can affect the actual internal clock time that is being set.
Page 179: Resetting The Iolan To Factory Defaults
Resetting the IOLAN to Factory Defaults You can reset the IOLAN to its factory default configuration by selecting Factory Default The IOLAN will automatically reboot itself with the factory default configuration. Language Support Two language files, in addition to English, are supplied on the supplemental CD, French and German. You can use any of these language files to create a translation into a language of your choice.
Page 180: Translation Guidance
Language Support Translation Guidance To help you with your translation, of supplied ASCII text language files we offer the following guidance: The IOLAN will support languages other than English (and the supplied German and French languages).

Page 181: Downloading Terminal Definitions
Downloading Terminal Definitions All terminal types can be used on the IOLAN. Some terminal types which are not already defined in the IOLAN, however, are unable to use Full Screen mode (menus) and may not be able to page through sessions properly. When installed, the IOLAN has several defined terminal types—Dumb, WYSE60, VT100, ANSI, TVI925, IBM3151, VT320, and HP700.
