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

WebManager on page 53 for information on configuring/managing the IOLAN with DeviceManager.

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.
