Clustering Commands

Add Clustering Slave-IP

Description

Adds a slave IOLAN to the clustering group.

User Level

Admin

Syntax

add clustering slave-ip <IPv4_address>

 

number-of-ports 124816243248 [protocol telnetssh]

 

[starting-master-tcp-port <10001-65535>]

 

[starting-slave-ds-port <10001-65535>]

Options

<IPv4_address>

 

Specify the IP address of the clustering slave you wish to modify. This clustering slave

 

must already exist in the clustering group. The IP address must be in a valid IPv4

 

format.

 

number-of-ports

 

Specify the port number that you wish to modify on this clustering slave.

 

protocol

 

Specify the protocol that will be used to access the Slave IOLAN port, SSH or Telnet.

 

starting-master-tcp-port

 

Specify this parameter if you wish to change the name associated with this slave port.

 

starting-slave-ds-port

 

Specify this parameter if you wish to change the slave-ds-port associated with this

 

slave port. This should match the port number configured for this port on the salve

 

IOLAN.

Delete Clustering Slave-IP

Description

Deletes a Slave IOLAN from the clustering group. Type

User Level

delete clustering slave-ip ? to get a list of Slave IOLAN IP addresses.

Admin

Syntax

delete clustering slave-ip <IPv4_address>

Option

<IPv4_address>

 

Specify the IP address of the clustering slave you wish to modify. This clustering slave

 

must already exist in the clustering group. The IP address must be in a valid IPv4

 

format.

SDS, MDC specifications

Perle Systems is a leading provider of connectivity solutions, renowned for its robustness and reliability in networking hardware. Among its expansive product offerings, the MDC (Multiport Device Converter) and SDS (Serial Device Server) stand out as pivotal solutions for industries requiring seamless data communication and device management.

The Perle MDC serves as a powerful multi-port device converter, providing the ability to connect multiple serial devices to a computer network without needing a separate connection for each device. This is particularly useful in environments with limited computing resources or high device density, such as railways, manufacturing plants, or remote field operations. It is designed to convert serial communication, which is commonly used in legacy devices, into Ethernet/IP or TCP/IP protocols, ensuring that older devices can integrate into modern networks.

Main features of the MDC include its robust design for industrial environments, support for a variety of serial protocols, and multiple device connections. It supports data rates of up to 115200 bps and provides easy monitoring and configuration via a web-based interface. Additionally, the MDC incorporates advanced security features including SSL and SSH encryption, ensuring data integrity and protection against unauthorized access.

On the other hand, the Perle SDS model exemplifies advanced serial device hosting capabilities, allowing users to connect Ethernet networks to serial devices. It acts as a bridge, enabling remote devices to be configured and managed over IP networks. The SDS series is known for its versatility, supporting a range of serial communication protocols, including RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485, making it suitable for various applications such as point-of-sale systems, industrial automation, and remote monitoring.

The SDS boasts several characteristics that enhance its functionality, such as automatic device discovery, real-time monitoring, and local or cloud-based management options. Its feature set also includes traffic management capabilities, allowing the optimization of device communication by controlling the flow of data, which is critical for applications requiring high reliability and low latency.

Both the MDC and SDS benefit from a strong emphasis on ease of deployment and management. They support a range of network topologies, facilitating seamless integration into existing infrastructures. Furthermore, these devices are backed by Perle Systems' reputation for customer support and a commitment to ongoing innovation, ensuring that organizations can rely on these solutions for future growth and technological advancement.
