Configuring Users

Configuring Sessions

You can configure user Sessions to limit the access the user has to the network and the way the user connects to a host. Users who are Level Normal or Admin can define Free Sessions, in addition to using defined sessions. Users who are Level Restricted or Menu can only access predefined sessions.

Configure the following parameters:

Session

Auto

You can create up to four predefined sessions for each user. You can specify the connection service and its settings for each session.

Specify whether or not the session(s) will start automatically when the user logs into the Device Server.

The following Session connections are available:

zNone—No connection is configured for this session.

zTelnet—For information on the Telnet configuration window, see Telnet Settings on page 58.

Configuring the Default User

When you add new users to the Device Server, they will initially inherit any parameters set in the Default User (the parameters can be changed on a per user basis).

For information on the Default User configuration parameters, see Configuring Users on page 61.

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.
