Options

eia-232 eia422 485

 

Specifies the type of line that is being used with the Device Server. Select either

 

EIA-232,EIA-422, or EIA-485.

 

monitor-dcd

 

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.

 

monitor-dsr

 

Specifies whether the RS-232 signal DSR (data set ready) should be monitored. This is

 

used with modems or any device that sends a DSR signal. When it is monitored and the

 

Device Server detects a DSR 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.

 

flow Defines whether the data flow is handled by the software (Soft), hardwareBoth, or(HardNone),.

 

tx-driver-control

 

Used with a EIA-485serial interface, if your application supports RTS (Request To

 

Send), select this option. Otherwise, select Auto. Default is Auto.

 

duplex

 

Specify whether the line is Full Duplex (communication both ways at the same time) or

 

Half Duplex (communication in one direction at a time).

 

echo-suppression

 

This parameter applies only to EIA-485 Half Duplex mode. All characters will be

 

echoed to the user and transmitted across the serial ports. Some EIA-485 applications

 

require local echo to be enabled in order to monitor the loopback data to determine that

 

line contention has occurred. If your application cannot handle loopback data, echo

 

suppression should be On. The default is echo suppression Off.

 

speed

 

Specifies the baud rate of the line; keep in mind that speed is affected by the length of

 

the cable.

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.
