Line Commands

flowin

Determines if input flow control is to be used. Default is On. This is active only when Line Flow Control is set to Soft, Hard, or Both.

flowout

Determines if output flow control is to be used. Default is On. This is active only when Line Flow Control is set to Soft, Hard, or Both.

hotkey-prefix

The prefix that a user types to lock a line or redraw the Menu. The default value is hex

01, which corresponds to Ctrl-a(^a) (hex value 02 would be Ctrl-b (^b), etc.):

z^a l—(Lowercase L) Locks the line until the user unlocks it. The user is prompted for a password (any password, excluding spaces) and locks the line. Next, the user must retype the password to unlock the line.

z^r—When you switch from a session back to the Menu, the screen may not be redrawn correctly. If this happens, use this command to redraw it properly.

You can use the Hotkey Prefix key to lock a line only when the Line Lock parameter is On.

idle-timer

Enter a time period, in seconds, for which the Idle Timer will run. Use this timer to close a connection because of inactivity. When the Idle Timer expires, the IOLAN will end the connection. The maximum value is 4294967 seconds (about 49 days). The default value of 0 (zero) means the Idle Timer will not expire, so the connection is permanently open.

data-logging

When enabled, serial data will be buffered if the TCP connection is lost. When the TCP connection is re-established, the buffered serial data will be sent to its destination .

Note: A kill line or a reboot of the IOLAN causes all buffered data to be lost.

The minimum data buffer size for all models is 1K. The maximum data buffer size is 2000 KB for DS1/TS1/STS8D, all other models the maximum size is 4000 KB. If the data buffer is filled, incoming serial data will overwrite the oldest data.

Some profile features are not compatible when using the Data Logging feature. See Data Logging Appendix H in the IOLAN User’s Guide for more information.

Data logging is only valid for Trueport and TCP Sockets profiles. Values: 1-2000 KB (DS1/TS1/STS8D)

Values: 1-4000 KB (all other models)

Default Buffer Size: 4 KB (DS1/TS1/STS8D)

Default Buffer Size: 256 KB (all other models)

Default: Disabled initial

Specifies the initial interface a user navigates when logging into the line; either the Menu or a prompt for the CLI. The default is CLI.

initiate-connection

Initiates a Telnet connection to the specified host when any data is received by the serial port or when the specified character is received by the serial port (direct Telnet only).

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.
