Using DeviceManager
and WebManager Chapter 5
5
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.
When using WebManager, you are required to click the Apply button each time you make a change to
a configuration window/tab. In DeviceManager, you must download your configuration changes to
the IOLAN either periodically or after you are done with the configuration changes. From both
managers you must reboot the IOLAN in order for you configuration changes to take effect.
