Serial Port Profiles

EOF1 Character

Specifies the End of Frame character, which defines when the frame is ready to

 

be transmitted. The actual transmission of the frame is based on the Trigger

 

Forwarding Rule.

 

Range: Hex 0-FF

 

Default: 0

EOF2 Character

When enabled, creates a sequence of characters that must be received to define

 

the end of the frame (if the EOF1 character is not immediately followed by the

 

EOF2 character, the IOLAN waits for another EOF1 character to start the

 

EOF1/EOF2 character sequence), which defines when the frame is ready to be

 

transmitted. The actual transmission of the frame is based on the Trigger

 

Forwarding Rule.

 

Range: Hex 0-FF

 

Default: 0

Trigger

Determines what is included in the Frame (based on the EOF1 or EOF1/EOF2)

Forwarding Rule

or Packet (based on Trigger1 or Trigger1/Trigger2). Choose one of the

 

following options:

 

z Strip-Trigger—Strips out the EOF1, EOF1/EOF2, Trigger1, or

 

Trigger1/Trigger2, depending on your settings.

 

z Trigger—Includes the EOF1, EOF1/EOF2, Trigger1, or

 

Trigger1/Trigger2, depending on your settings.

 

z Trigger+1—Includes the EOF1, EOF1/EOF2, Trigger1, or

 

Trigger1/Trigger2, depending on your settings, plus the first byte that

 

follows the trigger.

 

z Trigger+2—Includes the EOF1, EOF1/EOF2, Trigger1, or

 

Trigger1/Trigger2, depending on your settings, plus the next two bytes

 

received after the trigger.

 

Default: Trigger

Console Management Profile

Overview

The Console Management profile provides access through the network to a console or administrative port of a server or router attached to the IOLAN’s serial port. This profile configures the IOLAN’s serial port to set up a TCP socket that will listen for a Telnet connection from the network.

Functionality

Use the Console Management profile when you are configuring users who need to access a serial console port 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.
