Solution:
If you are an existing IOLAN+ user and would like to configure the Device Server using the IOLAN+ interface, you can type iolan+ at the CLI command prompt to access the IOLAN+ configuration menu.
The IOLAN+ interface is supported on all Device Server SDS, SCS, and STS models.
If you choose to use the IOLAN+ configuration interface, you should always configure the Device Server using the IOLAN+ interface, as fields do not map directly between the native Device Server interface and the IOLAN+ interface. Therefore, you could set a field parameter in one interface and unknowingly override a parameter (or several parameters) in the other interface. If you configure a field in the native Device Server 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 Device Server will interpret the value as valid.
You should be aware that the following IOLAN+ configuration fields are not available in this implementation of the IOLAN+ interface:
You no longer have the option of selecting access, Authentication/Logging. Also, kill, reboot, and stats are not available.
To kill, or reboot you must exit the Iolan+ Administration menu, then exit from the Iolan+ command prompt to exit the Iolan+ configuration mode.
Use the kill or reboot option from the Iolan Device Server command prompt.
Refer to your Perle User Guide for more details.
Note: functions that were not available on the Iolan+ product are not configurable using the Iolan Device Server's Iolan+ configuration mode ... ie IO features.
