Line Commands

local-echo

Toggles between local echo of entered characters and suppressing local echo. Local echo is used for normal processing, while suppressing the echo is convenient for entering text that should not be displayed on the screen, such as passwords. This parameter can only be used when Line Mode is On. Default is Off.

echo

Defines the echo character. When Line Mode is On, typing the echo character echoes the text locally and sends only completed lines to the host. This value is in hexadecimal with a default value of 5 (ASCII value ^E).

eof

Defines the end-of-file character. When Line Mode is On, entering the eof character as the first character on a line sends the character to the remote host. This value is in hexadecimal with a default value of 4 (ASCII value ^D).

 

erase

 

Defines the erase character. When Line Mode is Off, typing the erase character erases

 

one character. This value is in hexadecimal with a default value of 8 (ASCII value ^H).

 

intr

 

Defines the interrupt character. Typing the interrupt character interrupts the current

 

process. This value is in hexadecimal with a default value of 3 (ASCII value ^C).

 

quit

 

Defines the quit character. Typing the quit character closes and exits the current telnet

 

session. This value is in hexadecimal with a default value of 1c (ASCII value FS).

 

escape

 

Defines the escape character. Returns you to the command line mode. This value is in

 

hexadecimal with a default value of 1d (ASCII value GS).

Set UDP

 

Description

Configures the UDP settings for the serial line.

User Level

Normal, Admin

Syntax

set udp line entry 1234 [bothinoutnone <outbound_port>]

 

[<start_ip_address>] [<end_ip_address>]

Options

bothinoutnone

The direction in which information is received or relayed:

zNone—UDP service not enabled.

zIn—LAN to serial.

zOut—Serial to LAN.

zBoth—Messages are relayed both directions.

<outbound_port>

The port that the Device Server will use to receive messages from or relay messages to servers/hosts.

<start_ip_address>

The first host IP address in the range of IP addresses (for IPV4 or IPV6) that the Device Server will listen for messages from and/or send messages to.

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.
