Line Commands

client-initiated

When this option is turned on, the IOLAN will wait for a connection from the TruePort host (see the TruePort documentation for information on how to set up this feature on the TruePort host). When this option is turned off, the IOLAN will initiate the connection to the TruePort host. The default is off.

signal-active

This option has the following impact based on the state of the TruePort connection:

zTruePort Lite Mode—When enabled, the EIA-232 signals remain active before, during, and after the TruePort connection is established. When disabled, the EIA-232 signals remain inactive when there is no TruePort connection and active when there is a TruePort connection.

zTruePort Full Mode—When enabled, the EIA-232 signals remain active before and after the TruePort connection and the TruePort client will control the state of the signals during the established TruePort connection. When disabled, the EIA-232 signals remain inactive before and after the TruePort connection and the TruePort client will control the state of the signals during the established TruePort connection.

Default: Enabled

 

multihost

 

Used for connections coming from the network to the serial port for TruePort or Raw

 

services, allows multiple hosts to connect to the serial device.

 

multihost allbackup <config_backup_host> <tcp_port>none

 

Used for connections going from the serial port to the network for TruePort or Silent

 

Raw services, allows the serial device to communicate to either all the hosts in the

 

multihost list or a primary/backup host schema (see Configuring Multiple Hosts in the

 

IOLAN User’s Guide for a more detailed explanation).

Set Modem

 

Description

Sets the modem initialization strings for a defined modem. If you wish to add a new

User Level

modem, use the add modem command.

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.
