Administration

,

in WebManager to reset the

Language Support

Two language files, in addition to English, are supplied on the supplemental CD, French and German.
You can use any of these language files to create a translation into a language of your choice. You can
download the language file (whether the language is supplied or translated) into the IOLAN and
select the

Language

option of

Custom Language

or

Customlang

(custom language), making the

Menu and CLI field labels display in the desired language.

You can view Menu or CLI in one other language only (as well as English). If you download another
language file, this new language will replace the first language you downloaded.

You can revert to English at any time; the English language is stored permanently in the IOLAN and
is not overwritten by your new language. Each user logged into the IOLAN can operate in either
English or the downloaded language.

Loading a Supplied Language

This section describes how to download a language file using the CLI, since it is the least intuitive
method. French and German language files are provided on the supplemental CD.

To load one of the supplied languages into the IOLAN, so the Menu or CLI fields appear in another
language, do the following:

1.

Open the supplemental CD and identify the language file, either

Iolan_ds_French.txt

or

Iolan_ds_German.txt

, or supply one of your own translated files.

2.

Copy the language file to a host machine on the network; place it in the main file system or on
the main hard drive.

3.

Either use the TFTP defaults in the IOLAN or, configure as necessary, TFTP in the IOLAN.

4.

In the CLI of the IOLAN, enter the host IP address and file name; for example,

netload customlang 172.16.4.1 /temp/Iolan_ds_French.txt

The IOLAN will download the language file via TFTP.

In DeviceManager select

Tools

,

Advanced

,

Custom Files

and then select

Download Custom

Language File

and browse to the language file. In WebManager select

Administration

,

Custom

Files

and then specify the

Custom Language File

option and browse to the language file.

5.

To set an individual user to the new language, go to the

Users

menu and, in the

Language

field

select

Customlang

. In the CLI (only) you can set individual users or all users to the new

language; see the

set user *

command.

6.

The user will see the change of language when he/she logs out (

Main Menu

,

Sessions Menu

,

Logout

) and logs back into the IOLAN. If, as Admin user, you change your language setting to

Customlang

, you will see the text menus display in the new language when you save and exit

the

Change User

form. Users with

Level Normal

can also change their display language.

Note:

If you download a new software version, you can continue to use your language unchanged;
however, we recommend translating the new strings, which will be added to the end of the
language file. A

Reset to Factory Defaults

will reload the

Customlang

as English.


On successful download, the

Customlang

in the IOLAN will be overwritten by the new

language.
