RTS Signal Acts as

RI

DCD Signal Always On

DCD Signal On when host connection established

Specify this option to make the RTS signal always act as a DCD signal.

Default: Disabled

Specify this option to make the RTS signal always act as a RI signal.

Default: Disabled

When you configure the DTR or RTS signal pin to act as a DCD signal, enable this option to make the DCD signal always stay on.

Default: Enabled

When you configure the DTR or RTS signal pin to act as a DCD signal, enable this option to make the DCD signal active only during active communication.

Default: Disabled

Additional modem You can specify additional virtual modem commands that will affect how

initialization virtual modem starts. The following commands are supported: ATQn, ATVn, ATEn, +++ATH, ATA, ATI0, ATI3, ATS0, AT&Z1, AT&Sn, AT&Rn, AT&Cn, AT&F, ATS2, ATS12, ATO (ATD with no phone number), and ATDS1.

See Virtual Modem AT Commands for a more detailed explanation of the support initialization commands.

Enable Message of When enabled, displays the Message of the Day (MOTD) when a successful the Day (MOTD) virtual modem connection is made.

 

Default: Disabled

Enable TCP

Enables a per-connection TCP keepalive feature. After the configured number

Keepalive

of seconds, the connection will send a gratuitous ACK to the network peer, thus

 

either ensuring the connection stays active OR causing a dropped connection

 

condition to be recognized.

 

This parameter needs to be used in conjunction with Monitor Connection

 

Status Interval parameter found in the Serial, Advanced, Advanced Settings

 

tab. The interval determines how long the IOLAN will wait during inactivity

 

before "testing" the connection. It should be noted that if a network connection

 

is accidentally dropped, it can take as long as the specified interval before

 

anyone can reconnect to the serial port.

 

Default: Disabled

AT Command

The amount of time, in milliseconds, before an AT response is sent to the

Response Delay

requesting device.

 

Default: 250 ms

Session Strings

Controls the sending of ASCII strings to serial devices at session start as

 

follows;

 

z Send at Start—If configured, this string will be sent to the serial device

 

on power-up of the IOLAN or when a kill line command is issued on the

 

serial port. If the "monitor DSR" or "monitor DCD" options are set, the

 

string will also be sent when the monitored signal is raised.

 

Range: 0-127 alpha-numeric characters

 

Range: Hexadecimal 0-FF

 

z Delay after Send—If configured, will inset a delay after the string is sent

 

to the device. This delay can be used to provide the serial device with time

 

to process the string before the session is initiated or terminated.

 

Default: 10 ms

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.
