Line Commands

send-name

When enabled, the port name will be sent to the host upon session initiation.

Default: Disabled

session strings

Controls the sending of ASCII strings to serial devices at session start and session termination as follows;

zSend at Start—If configured, this string will be sent to the serial device when the serial device is detected (i.e. signals come up). The maximum size of this field is 128 bytes/characters. Non printable ascii characters must be entered in this format <027>. The decimal numbers within the brackets must be 3 digits long (example 003 not 3).

zSend at End—If configured, this string will be sent to the serial device when the TCP session on the LAN is terminated. The maximum size of this field is 128 bytes/characters. Non printable ascii character must be entered in this format <027> (escape). The decimal numbers within the brackets must be 3 digits long (example 003 not 3).

zDelay after Send—If configured, a delay time is sent to the device. This delay can be used to provide the serial device with time to process the string before the session is initiated.

Range: 0-65535 ms

Default: 10 ms

sess-timer

Enter a time, in seconds, for which the Session Timer will run. Use this timer to forcibly close the session (connection). When the Session Timer expires, the IOLAN will end the connection. The default value is 0 seconds so the port will never timeout. The maximum value is 4294967 seconds (about 49 days).

stop-bits

Specifies the number of stop bits that follow a byte.

term-type

Specifies the type of terminal connected to the line:

zDumb

zWYSE60

zVT100

zANSI

zTVI925

zIBM3151TE

zVT320 (specifically supporting VT320-7)

zHP700 (specifically supporting HP700/44)

zTerm1, Term2, Term3 (user defined terminals)

user

For DSLogin line service, makes this a line that is dedicated to the specified user. Only this user will be able to log in on this line and they won’t need to enter their login name - just their password.

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.
