Services Tab

Overview

The Services tab configures the connection parameters for a user. Any connection parameters configured in this window will override the serial port connection parameters.

Functionality

When a Terminal profile is set for the serial port and Require Login has been selected, user’s accessing the IOLAN through the serial port will be authenticated. Once authentication is successful, the IOLAN will start a Telnet connection to the specified Host IP/TCP Port.

Within the Terminal profile, there are a number of settings that apply to possible Services. Once it is known which user is connected, and which service is to be used, then the settings from both the Terminal profile and the user are used. User parameters take precedence over serial port parameters.

Field Descriptions

Configure the following parameters:

Service

Used in conjunction with the Terminal Profile. After the user has successfully

 

been authenticated, the specified service is started.

 

Data Options: DSPrompt, Telnet, TCP Clear

 

Default: DSPrompt

Host IP

When the User Service is set to Telnet or TCP Clear, the target host IP

 

address. If no IP address is specified, the Host IP value in the Default User

 

configuration will be used.

 

Default: 0.0.0.0.

TCP Port

When the User Service is Telnet, this is the target port number. The default

 

value will change based on the type of Service selected; the most common

 

known port numbers are used as the default values.

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.
