Management

Internet Address	The IP address of the SNMP manager that will send requests to the IOLAN. If
	the address is 0.0.0.0, any SNMP manager with the Community Name can
	access the IOLAN.
Permissions	Permits the IOLAN to respond to SNMP requests.
	Data Options:
	z None—There is no response to requests from SNMP.
	z Readonly—Responds only to Read requests from SNMP.
	z Readwrite—Responds to both Read and Write requests from SNMP.
	Default: None
Read-Write User	Specified user can view and edit SNMP variables.
Read-Only User	Specified user can only view SNMP variables.
Trap	The trap receiver is the network management system (NMS) that should
	receive the SNMP traps. This NMS must have the same SNMP community
	string as the trap sender.
Internet Address	Defines the hosts (by IP address) that will receive trap messages generated by
	the IOLAN. Up to four trap hosts can be defined.

Overview

You can create custom applications for the IOLAN by using the Perle SDK. See the SDK Programmer’s Guide (the SDK and guide are found on the Perle website at www.perle.com/downloads/index.shtml) for information about the functions that are supported. You must download the program and any ancillary files to the IOLAN and set the Serial Port Profile to Custom App/Plugin to run a custom application. You must also specify the program executable in the Command Line parameter.

A custom application or plugin can be run on the serial port. In this situation, the application will start once the serial port is activated and operate solely on the context of that serial port and any network communications related to that serial port. You could run a different custom application on each serial port. The serial port custom application or plugin is configured by specifying the Custom App/Plugin profile for the serial port.

The system level custom application or plugin will begin execution immediately following the system startup. It runs on the context of the whole system and can access network communications as well as any or all serial ports.

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.
