Serial Port Profiles

General Tab Field Descriptions

Configure the following parameters:

Listen for connections on UDP port

Direction

The IOLAN will listen for UDP packets on the specified port. Default: 1000+<port-number> (for example, 10001 for serial port 1)

The direction in which information is received or relayed:

zDisabled—UDP service not enabled.

zLAN to Serial—UDP Port can be set to Auto-learnor Port. The IOLAN will listen on port value configured in the Listen for connections on UDP port parameter for messages coming from the learned or configured port.

zSerial to LAN—UDP Port can be set to Port only. The IOLAN will listen on the port value configured in the Listen for connections on UDP port parameter and will send to the configured port.

zBoth—Messages are relayed in both directions. UDP Port can be set to Auto-learnor Port. For messages coming from the LAN to the serial device, IOLAN will listen on port value configured in the Listen for connections on UDP port parameter for messages coming from the learned or configured port. For messages going from the serial device to the LAN, the IOLAN will listen on the port value configured in the Listen for connections on UDP port parameter and will send to the configured or learned (if Auto-learnis enabled, the IOLAN must receive a UDP message before it can send one, since the port must first be ’learned’) port.

Start IP Address

The first host IP address in the range of IP addresses (for IPV4 or IPV6) that

 

the IOLAN will listen for messages from and/or send messages to.

End IP Address

The last host IP address in the range of IP addresses (for IPV4, not required for

 

IPV6) that the IOLAN will listen for messages from and/or send messages to.

Autolearn

The IOLAN will only listen to the first port that it receives a UDP packet from.

 

Applicable when Direction is set to LAN to Serial or Both.

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.
