Serial Port Profiles

Advanced Tab Field Descriptions

Configure the following parameters:

Break Length

When the IOLAN receives a command from its peer to issue a break signal,

 

this paramters defines the length of time the break condition will be asserted on

 

the serial port

 

Default: 1000ms (1 second)

Delay After Break

This parameter defines the delay between the termination of a break condition

 

and the time data will be sent out the serial port.

 

Default: 0ms (no delay).

Session Strings

Controls the sending of ASCII strings to serial devices at session start and

 

session termination as follows;

 

z Send at Start—If configured, this string will be sent to the serial device

 

on power-up of the IOLAN or when a kill line command is issued on this

 

serial port. If the "monitor DSR" or "monitor DCD" options are set, the

 

string will also be sent when the monitored signal is raised.

 

Range: 0-127 alpha-numeric characters

 

Range: 0-FF hexadecimal

 

z Send at End—If configured, this string will be sent to the serial device

 

when the TCP session on the LAN is terminated. If multihost is

 

configured, this string will only be sent to the serial device when the

 

profile is configured as a listen mode connection and after all multihost

 

connections are terminated.

 

Range: 0-127 alpha-numeric characters

 

Range: 0-FF hexadecimal

 

z Delay after Send—If configured, will inset a delay after the string is sent

 

to the device. This delay can be used to provide the serial device with time

 

to process the string before the session is initiated or terminated.

 

Default: 10 ms

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.
