Specifies whether the RS-232 signal DCD (Data Carrier Detect) should be monitored. This is used with modems or any other device that sends a DCD signal. When it is monitored and the Device Server detects a DCD signal, the line service is started. Default is Off. If both Monitor DCD and Monitor DSR are enabled, both signals must be detected before the line service is started.

Defines whether the data flow is handled by the software(Hard),(SoftBoth),, hardwareorNone.

Specifies the number of bits in a byte. The default is 8.

Specifies the number of stop bits that follow a byte.

Specifies if you are using Even, Odd, or No parity on the line. If you want to force a parity type, you can specify Mark for 1or Space for 0.

The Device Server port number.

Specifies the type of terminal connected to the line:

zDumb

zWYSE60

zVT100

zANSI

zTVI925

zIBM3151TE

zVT320 (specifically supporting VT320-7)

zHP700 (specifically supporting HP700/44)

zTerm1, Term2, Term3 (user defined terminals)

For DSLogin line service, this is the number of video pages the terminal supports. Valid values are 1-7. The default is 5 pages.

For DSLogin line service, makes this a line that is dedicated to the specified user. Only this user will be able to log in on this line and they won’t need to enter their login name - just their password.

Enables/disables login/password authentication, locally or externally, on reverse Telnet connections. The default is Off.

Determines how a modem will work on the line. If your user is remote and will be dialing in via modem or ISDN TA, set this parameter to In; if the Device Server is being used as a router, set this parameter to either In, Out, or Both, depending on which end of the link your Device Server is situated and how you want to initiate the communication.

The name of the predefined modem that is used on this line.

The phone number to use when Dial is set to Out.

Specifies the initial interface a user navigates when logging into the line; either the Menu or a prompt for the CLI. The default is CLI.

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.
