IOLAN+ Interface

For environments that have both IOLAN and IOLAN+ models or for users who prefer to configure 
using the IOLAN+ Menu or CLI, the IOLAN+ user interface is available. The IOLAN+ interface is 
supported on all IOLAN SDS, SCS, and STS models up to and including 16 serial ports. 

The Menu is accessed by any application that supports a Telnet or SSH session to the IOLAN’s 

 

IP address, such as Putty, SecureCRT, or from a command prompt. You can also access the Menu 
from a dumb terminal or PC connected to a serial port.

After you have successfully logged in to the IOLAN, you can type

prompt to access the IOLAN+ configuration menu (you must have

If you choose to use the IOLAN+ configuration interface, you should always configure the IOLAN 
using the IOLAN+ interface. The IOLAN/IOLAN+ fields do not map directly between the two 
interfaces. If you configure a field in the IOLAN configuration interface to a value that is invalid in 
the IOLAN+ interface and then attempt to use the IOLAN+ interface, the invalid field value will 
show up as ****** (all asterisks), although the IOLAN will interpret the value as valid.

The IOLAN and the IOLAN+ admin user share the same password. The default admin 

password is 

 (not 

).
