Secondary Host

If the IOLAN cannot communicate with the primary host, then the IOLAN will

 

attempt to send system log messages to this preconfigured host; messages will

 

be displayed on the host’s monitor.

 

Default: None

Level

Choose the event level that triggers a syslog entry.

 

Data Options: Emergency, Alert, Critical, Error, Warning, Notice, Info, Debug

Management

SNMP

Overview

If you are using SNMP to manage/configure the IOLAN, or to view statistics or traps, you must set up a User in SNMP version 3 or a Community in SNMP version 1,2 to allow your SNMP manager to connect to the IOLAN; this can be done in the DeviceManager, WebManager, CLI, or Menu. You must then load the perle-ds.MIB(found on the CD-ROM packaged with the IOLAN) file into your SNMP manager before you connect to the IOLAN.

Note: Ensure that the SNMP service found in the Security, Services page is enabled (by default it is enabled).

Field Descriptions

Configure the following parameters:

Contact

The name and contract information of the person who manages this SMNP

 

node.

Location

The physical location of the SNMP node.

Community

The name of the group that devices and management stations running SNMP

 

belong to.

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.
