To begin updating or configuring the Belden IO-Link Master (e.g., model 0980 ESL 399-121), open a web browser and navigate to the IP address of the device. This will open the LiON-P Webserver interface.

  • Function (e.g., IO-Link, Digital Input, AUX Power)

  • State of each channel (e.g., Operate, Scan, OFF)

  • Diagnostic Indicators (e.g., DIA for errors or warnings)

This interface helps you monitor port activity and diagnose potential issues before performing any updates.
