Syntax

set line service bidir <config_host> <server_port> <host_port>

 

set line service directsilent raw <config_host> <host_port>

 

set line service directsilent telnet <config_host> [<host_port>]

 

set line service reverse rawtelnet <server_port>

 

set line service dsloginudpvmodem

Options

bidir

 

Allows a bidirectional connection on a port.

 

<config_host>

 

The name of the target host.

 

<server_port>

 

The Device Server port number.

 

<host_port>

 

The port number the target host is listening on for incoming connections.

 

direct

 

Direct connections bypass the Device Server, enabling the user to log straight into a

 

specific host. A direct connection is recommended where a user logging in to the

 

Device Server is not required. It is also recommended where multiple sessions are not a

 

requirement. The message Press return to continue is displayed on the user’s

 

screen. The user must press a key to display the host login prompt. The message is

 

redisplayed on logout.

 

silent

 

Silent connections are the same as direct connections, except they are permanently

 

established. The host login prompt is displayed on the screen. Logging out redisplays

 

this prompt. Silent connections, unlike direct connections, however, make permanent

 

use of pseudo tty resources and therefore consume host resources even when not in use.

 

raw

 

Creates a connection where no authentication takes place and data is passed unchanged.

 

telnet

 

Sets the line for a telnet connection.

 

reverse

 

Enables a TCP/IP host to establish a login connection on an external machine attached

 

to a port. For example, to access machines like protocol converters, statistical

 

multiplexors, or machines like routers, firewalls, servers, etc.

 

dslogin

 

The default connection. The Device Server displays a login on that line. For example,

 

DSLogin is used when a System Administrator configures the Device Server or users

 

starts a session(s) from the Device Server to hosts.

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.
