Adding/Editing Users

Level

The access that a user is allowed.

 

Data Options:

 

z Admin—The admin level user has total access to the IOLAN. You can

 

create more than one admin user account but we recommend that you only

 

have one. They can monitor and configure the IOLAN. Users configured

 

with this level can access the unit either via serial Terminal Profile

 

connection or via a network originated Telnet connection to the IOLAN.

 

z Normal—The Normal level user has limited access to the IOLAN.

 

Limited CLI commands and Menu access are available with the ability to

 

configure the user’s own configuration settings. Users configured with this

 

level can access the unit either via serial Terminal Profile connection or

 

via a network originated Telnet connection to the IOLAN.

 

z Restricted—The Restricted level user can only access predefined sessions

 

or access the Easy Port Access menu. Users configured with this level will

 

be restricted to pre-defined sessions or limited CLI commands when

 

connecting through the serial port via the Terminal Profile. The CLI

 

commands are limited to those used for initiating a session. If connection

 

to the IOLAN is done with Telnet from the network, the user will be

 

presented with the Easy Port Access menu.

 

z Menu—The menu level user will only be able to access predefined

 

session when connecting through a serial port with the Terminal profile or

 

will be limited to the Easy Port Access menu when connecting from the

 

network. The Easy Port Access allows the user to connect to the accessible

 

line without disconnecting their initial connection to the IOLAN. Does not

 

have any access to CLI commands.

 

When the Admin user logs into the IOLAN, the prompt ends with a #, whereas

 

all other users’ prompts ends with a $ or £, depending on the character set.

 

Default: Normal

Note: A technique for giving a serially attach user (dial-in or terminal attached), the same menus as one that is network connected is to do the following:

1.Define the serial port with a Terminal Profile using telnet protocol with a direct connection to Host IP address 127.0.0.0 (local loop back).

2.When the user connects to that serial port a Telnet session will be established to the IOLAN and the user will appear to have connected from the network.

DS1, TS2 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.
