Chapter 15

This chapter addresses the functions that the admin user or a user with Admin Level privileges might 
do. This chapter uses the DeviceManager as the configuration method described in most 
administrative functions. As a general rule, administrative functions are accessed from the menu bar 
in the DeviceManager and under the 

 option in the WebManager’s navigation tree.

When you connect to the IOLAN using either DeviceManager or WebManager, the IOLAN’s active 
configuration file is loaded into the configurator. To save a backup of the configuration file locally, 
do the following:

z

In DeviceManager:

From the menu bar, select 

, 

. 

In the Save As dialog box, specify a name and format for the file. Notice that you can save 
the file as either a 

 or a 

file. Either file format can be imported into the 

DeviceManager and downloaded to the IOLAN in the future. The 

 is a binary file and 

the

z

In WebManager:

In the navigation tree, select the 

 option.

In the configuration area, click the 

 button. 

Select the tab corresponding to the transfer method you wish to use. The options are;

z

Web - Uses HTTP to transfer the data

z

z

SFTP - Uses Secure File Transfer Protocol to transfer the data.

Note: For both TFTP or SFTP, you must have a host on your network which will act as the 
TFTP or SFTP server. HTTP does not require any other host.

In the Backup group box, select the format (

 or 

) in which you want to save the 

file. Either file format can be imported into the DeviceManager and downloaded to the 
IOLAN in the future.
