Server Commands

Server Commands

This section defines all the CLI commands associated with configuring the Device Server’s server parameters.

Server Commands

Set Server

Description Sets server parameters.

User Level Admin

Syntax set server [banner onoff] [bypass-password onoff] [domain <string>] [flush-on-close onoff]

[internet <IPV4_address>] [name <string>] [oem-login onoff] [password-limit <0-10>] [prompt-with-name onoff] [single-telnet onoff] [subnet-bit-length <0-32>]

set server tftp [retry <integer>] [timeout <integer>]

Options banner

This parameter concerns the banner information (product name/software version). This banner information is presented to a user with a login prompt. For security reasons, you can turn off the display of this information. The default is Off.

bypass-password

When set, authorised users who do not have a password set, with the exception of the

Admin user, WILL NOT be prompted for a password at login with Local

Authentication.

domain_name

Unique name for your domain, your location in the global network. Like Hostname, it is a symbolic, rather than a numerical, identifier.

flush-on-close

When enabled, deletes any pending data when a port is closed; as opposed to maintaining the port to send pending data. The default value is Off.

internet

The Device Server’s unique IPv4 network IP address. If you are using the Device

Server in an IPv6 network, this field can be left blank.

oem-login

When set, and a custom language file is in use, the login prompt will use the string defined in the language file as the login prompt instead of the default prompt, login:.

password-limit

The number of attempts a user is allowed to enter a password for a port. If this limit is exceeded, the port is disabled for 5 minutes. A user with Admin level rights can restart the port, bypassing the timeout, by issuing a kill on the disabled port. The default value is 3.

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.
