Advanced Serial Settings Tab

Overview

Advanced serial port settings apply to all serial ports.

Field Descriptions

Configure the following parameters:

Flush Data Before When enabled, deletes any pending data when a port is closed.

Closing Serial Port Default: Disabled

Deny Multiple

Allows only one network connection at a time per a serial port. Application

Network

accessing a serial port device across a network with get a connection (socket)

Connections

refused until:

 

z All data from previous connections on that serial port has drained

 

z There are no other connections

 

z Up to a 1 second interconnection poll timer has expired

 

This also enables a per-connection TCP keepalive feature. After approximately

 

3 minutes of network connection idle time, the connection will send a

 

gratuitous ACK to the network peer, thus either ensuring the connection stays

 

active OR causing a dropped connection condition to be recognized by all peer

 

network connections.

 

Applications using this feature need to be aware that there can be some

 

considerable delay between a network disconnection and the port being

 

available for the next connection attempt, allowing any data sent on prior

 

connections to be transmitted out of the serial port. Application network retry

 

logic needs to accommodate this feature.

 

Default: Disabled

Monitor

Specify how often, in seconds, the IOLAN will send a TCP Keepalive to

Connection

services that support TCP Keepalive.

Interval Status

Default: 30 seconds

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.
