Easy Configuration Wizard
The Easy Config Wizard quickly sets up the IOLAN’s network configuration and all serial ports to
one of the following:
z Console Management—Allows users on the network to connect to a serial device that is
connected to a serial port on the IOLAN.
z TruePort (Virtual COM Port)—Allows a networked system to communicate with your serial
device through a virtual COM or TTY port, using the Perle TruePort software.
z TCP Sockets (Raw TCP)—Allows hosts on the network to communicate with a serial device
that requires raw data throughput (such as a printer or card reader) connected to the IOLAN
serial port.
z Terminal—Allows a terminal device to connect to a specified host on the network through a
serial port on the IOLAN.
z Printer—Allows hosts on the network to talk to a printer using LPD connected to the IOLAN.
z Serial Tunneling—Allows IOLANs on the network to establish a virtual link between their
serial ports. Typically, one IOLAN’s serial port is configured as a Tunnel Server and the other
IOLAN’s serial port is configured as a Tunnel Client.
