Serial Port Profiles

Parity

Specifies the type of parity being used for the data communication on the serial

 

port. If you want to force a parity type, you can specify Mark for 1or Space for

 

0.

 

Data Options: Even, Odd, Mark, Space, None

 

Default: None

Stop Bits

Specifies the number of stop bits that follow a byte.

 

Data Options: 1,1.5, 2

 

Default: 1

Duplex

Used with a EIA-485serial interface, specify whether the serial port is Full

 

Duplex (communication both ways at the same time) or Half Duplex

 

(communication in one direction at a time).

 

Default: Full

TX Driver Control

Used with a EIA-485serial interface, if your application supports RTS

 

(Request To Send), select this option. Otherwise, select Auto.

 

Default: Auto

Flow Control

Defines whether the data flow is handled by the software (Soft), hardware

 

(Hard), Both, or None.

 

Data Options: Soft, Hard, Both, None

 

Default: None

Enable Inbound

Determines if input flow control is to be used.

Flow Control

Default: Enabled

Enable Outbound

Determines if output flow control is to be used.

Flow Control

Default: Enabled

Monitor DSR

Specifies whether the EIA-232 signal DSR (Data Set Ready) should be

 

monitored. This is used with modems or any device that sends a DSR signal.

 

When it is monitored and the IOLAN detects a DSR signal, the line profile is

 

started. If both Monitor DCD and Monitor DSR are enabled, both signals must

 

be detected before the line profile is started.

 

Default: Disabled

Monitor DCD

Specifies whether the EIA-232 signal DCD (Data Carrier Detect) should be

 

monitored. This is used with modems or any other device that sends a DCD

 

signal. When it is monitored and the IOLAN detects a DCD signal, the line

 

profile is started. If both Monitor DCD and Monitor DSR are enabled, both

 

signals must be detected before the line profile is started.

 

Default: Disabled

Enable Echo

This parameter applies only to EIA-485 Half Duplex mode. All characters will

Suppression

be echoed to the user and transmitted across the serial ports. Some EIA-485

 

applications require local echo to be enabled in order to monitor the loopback

 

data to determine that line contention has occurred. If your application cannot

 

handle loopback data, echo suppression should be enabled.

 

Default: Disabled

Discard Characters When enabled, the IOLAN will discard received characters with parity or

Received with Line

framing errors.

Errors

Default: Disabled

Perle Systems TS2, DS1 manual Parity, Default None, Stop Bits, Data Options 1,1.5, Duplex, Default Full, TX Driver Control

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.
