TFTP Configuration

For example:

term=AT386 at386 386AT 386at at/386 console acsc=jYk?lZm@qDtCu4x3

bold=\E[1m

civis=

clear=\E[2J\E[H

cnorm=

cup=\E[%i%p1%02d;%p2%02dH

rev=\E4A

rmacs=\E[10m

rmso=\E[m

smacs=\E[12m

smso=\E[7m

page=

circ=n

Note: As you can see from the example, capabilities which are not defined in the terminfo file must still be included (albeit with no value). Each entry has an 80 character limit.

On some versions of UNIX, some of the capabilities are appended with a millisecond delay (of the form $<n>). These are ignored by the Device Server and can be left out.

The ‘acsc’ capability, if defined, contains a list of character pairs. These pairs map the characters used by the terminal for graphics characters to those of the standard (VT100) character set.

Include only the following character pairs:

jx, kx, lx, mx, qx, tx, ux and xx

(where x must be substituted by the character used by the terminal). These are the box-drawing characters used to display the forms and menus of Menu mode. They must be entered in this order.

The last two capabilities will not be found in the terminfo file. In the page field you must enter the escape sequence used by the terminal to change screens. The circ field defines whether the terminal can use previous page and next page control sequences. It must be set to y or n. These capabilities can be found in the documentation supplied with the terminal.

TFTP Configuration

TFTP configuration consists of specifying the number of times the Device Server’s TFTP client retries a file transfer and the how long the TPTP process will wait (timeout) before retrying to transfer a file.

You must have a TFTP server running on any host that you are uploading or downloading files to/from. If you are using the DeviceManager and transferring a local file to a Device Server, you still need to have a TFTP server running on your PC. When you specify the file path, the path must be relative to the default path set in your TFTP server software (do not use drive letters in the file path).

DS1 specifications

Perle Systems TS2 and DS1 are advanced serial-to-Ethernet devices designed to facilitate seamless integration of serial devices with modern IP networks. These devices serve as crucial tools for businesses looking to enhance their communication capabilities while leveraging existing infrastructure.

One of the standout features of the Perle TS2 and DS1 is their ability to support multiple serial protocols including RS232, RS422, and RS485. This versatile support allows businesses to connect various legacy devices to their networks, ensuring that critical equipment can still communicate effectively in an increasingly digital landscape.

The TS2 model is particularly noted for its dual serial ports, enabling simultaneous communication with multiple devices. This capability is invaluable for applications requiring real-time data transmission, such as remote monitoring and automated control systems. The DS1 model, on the other hand, is designed for single-port use, making it an ideal solution for smaller-scale operations or specific single-device connections.

Both the TS2 and DS1 incorporate advanced features such as configuration through a web interface, which simplifies setup and management. Users can easily access device settings and monitor performance metrics remotely, enhancing operational efficiency. These devices also support various network protocols such as TCP/IP, UDP, and ICMP, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of network architectures.

In terms of security, Perle Systems prioritize user data protection. The TS2 and DS1 offer features including SSL encryption and SSH protection, providing an added layer of security for sensitive information transmitted over the network. This is particularly important for industries where data integrity and security are paramount, such as healthcare and finance.

Additionally, the rugged design of both devices ensures reliable performance even in harsh environments. With extended temperature ratings and robust housing, the TS2 and DS1 can operate in diverse conditions without compromising functionality.

To summarize, the Perle Systems TS2 and DS1 provide a reliable and flexible solution for connecting legacy serial devices to modern networks. With their support for multiple serial protocols, web-based management, robust security features, and rugged design, these devices cater to a variety of industries looking to modernize their communication infrastructure while maintaining existing equipment. Whether for large-scale operations or smaller implementations, the TS2 and DS1 equip businesses with the tools needed for effective serial communication in an IP-driven world.
