Downloading IOLAN Firmware

The RESET button is available on all IOLAN models (except medical unit models). The button 
allows you to reset the IOLAN to its Perle or custom factory default configuration. The Power/Ready 
LED color and the resetting of the IOLAN default configuration vary depending on how long you 
press and hold the RESET button, as shown in the table below.

To upgrade the IOLAN firmware (software):

z

In DeviceManager, select 

, 

, 

IOLAN. You can browse 

to the firmware location. Once the firmware download is complete, you will be prompted to 
reboot the IOLAN. You can choose to reboot the IOLAN at another time by selecting 

, 

, 

IOLAN. 

z

In WebManager, under the 

 option, select 

. Either browse to 

the firmware file and then click the 

 button or configure the TFTP or SFTP server and 

click the 

 button. Note: If you use the TFTP or SFTP option, the specified TFTP or SFTP 

server must be on the same subnet as the IOLAN.

Upgrading the firmware does not affect the IOLAN’s configuration file or downloaded custom files.

All I/O channels are factory calibrated and should not need recalibration during initial use. However 
should calibration be required, you can recalibrate in DeviceManager or WebManager. In 
DeviceManager, you calibrate the I/O channel(s) by selecting 

, 

, 

. In 

WebManager, you calibrate the I/O channel(s) by selecting 

, 

. 

To calibrate an Analog input channel, read the section that applies to the type of input you are 
calibrating. Note that calibration will be done for the active channel configuration; for example, if 
Channel A1 is set to voltage, you cannot calibrate it for current. The voltage range configured for this 
channel will also dictate what is being calibrated. For example, if this channel is configured for a 
range of +/-10V, calibrating this channel will calibrate all channels which are configured for +/-10V. 
During the calibration process, you will be asked to apply the minimum and maximum configured 
range value to the channel; for example, to calibrate for voltage +/- 10V, you will be prompted to first 
apply -10V and then +10V to the channel.
Also, you cannot actively calibrate disabled channels (although, for Voltage, if you enable the 
channel and then set it for a range that has already been calibrated for another channel, it will also be 
calibrated).
