Configuring the Network

Configuring SNMP

If you are using the Device Server SNMP MIB-based configuration/management option, you can use the DeviceManager to easily set up SNMP users, traps, and communities. The Device Server supports the SNMP traps for restart and SNMP community authentication error. For more information on SNMP, see SNMP on page 31.

Configure the appropriate parameters:

Contact

Location

Community

Internet Address

Permissions

Read-Write User

Read-Only User

Trap

Internet Address

The name and contract information of the person who manages this SMNP node.

The physical location of the SNMP node.

A name that will be sent to the Device Server from an SNMP manager. This name will define the permissions of the manager.

The IP address of the SNMP manager that will send requests to the Device Server. If the address is 0.0.0.0, any SNMP manager with the Community Name can access the Device Server.

Permits the Device Server to respond to SNMP requests by:

zNone—There is no response to requests from SNMP.

zReadonly—Responds only to Read requests from SNMP.

zReadwrite—Responds to both Read and Write requests from SNMP.

Specified user can view and edit SNMP variables.

Specified user can only view SNMP variables.

An arbitrary trap community name.

Defines the hosts (by IP address) that will receive trap messages generated by the Device Server. Up to four trap hosts can be defined.

Perle Systems DS1 manual Configuring Snmp

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.
