SNMP

Overview

The IOLAN supports configuration and management through SNMP. SNMP Management tools (SNMP client/MIB browser software) can be used to set IOLAN configuration parameters and/or view IOLAN statistics.

Before you can configure/manage the IOLAN using SNMP, although you need to set the IOLAN IP address and configure a read-write user for SNMP version 3 or a community for SNMP version 1 or

2.You can use DeviceManager, CLI, or the Menu to set the IP address and user/community (don’t forget to reboot the IOLAN before connecting with the SNMP manager to make your changes take effect).

Access Platforms

You can access the IOLAN SNMP MIB from any system that runs your SNMP client/MIB browser software.

Features

SNMP supports the following features:

zYou can configure SNMP traps.

zSince not all versions of SNMP support secure communication, password parameters must be set using another configuration method.

Connecting to the IOLAN Using SNMP

Before you can connect to the IOLAN through an SNMP Management tool or MIB browser, you need to set the following components through another configuration method.

1.Configure a known IP address on the IOLAN.

2.Configure a read-write user for SNMP version 3 or a community for SNMP version 1 or 2 on the

IOLAN.

3.Reboot the IOLAN to make sure the changes take effect.

To connect to the IOLAN through an SNMP Management tool or MIB browser, do the following:

1.Load the perle-ds.MIBfile from the IOLAN CD-ROM or Perle website into your SNMP manager (this MIB works for all DS1 and TS2 models).

Note: You need to have the following MIBs installed in your SNMP manager (these are usually part of the standard SNMP client/MIB browser):

zSNMPv2-SMI

zSNMPv2-TC

zIPV6-TC

2.Verify that the read-write user for SNMP version 3 or a community for SNMP version 1 or 2 match the configuration on the IOLAN.

3.Type in the IOLAN’s IP address and connect to the IOLAN.

You are now ready to start configuring the IOLAN using SNMP.

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.
