Packet Forwarding Commands

custom-on-specific-events

This section allows you to set a variety of packet definition options. The first criteria that is met causes the packet to be transmitted. For example, if you set a Force Transmit Timer of 1000 ms and a Packet Size of 100 bytes, whichever criteria is met first is what will cause the packet to be transmitted.

custom-on-frame-definition

This section allows you to control the frame that is transmitted by defining the start and end of frame character(s). If the internal buffer (1024 bytes) is full before the EOF character(s) are received, the packet will be transmitted and the EOF character(s) search will continue. The default frame definition is SOF=00 and EOF=00.

enable-end-trigger1

Enable or disable the end trigger1 hex character.

enable-end-trigger2

Enable or disable the end trigger2 hex character.

enable-end-eof1

Enable or disable the eof1 (end of frame) hex character.

enable-end-eof2

Enable or disable the eof2 (end of frame) hex character.

enable-end-sof1

Enable or disable the sof1 (start of frame) hex character.

enable-end-sof2

Enable or disable the sof2 (start of frame) hex character.

end-trigger1

When enabled, specifies the character that when received will define when the packet is ready for transmission. The transmission of the packet is based on the Trigger Forwarding Rule. Valid values are in hex 0-FF. The default is 0.

end-trigger2

When enabled, creates a sequence of characters that must be received to specify when the packet is ready for transmission (if the End Trigger1 character is not immediately followed by the End Trigger2 character, the IOLAN waits for another End Trigger1 character to start the End Trigger1/End Trigger2 character sequence). The transmission of the packet is based on the Trigger Forwarding Rule. Valid values are in hex 0-FF. The default is 0.

eof1

Specifies the End of Frame character, which defines when the frame is ready to be transmitted. The transmission of the frame is based on the Trigger Forwarding Rule. Valid values are in hex 0-FF. The default is 0.

eof2

When enabled, creates a sequence of characters that must be received to define the end of the frame (if the EOF1 character is not immediately followed by the EOF2 character, the IOLAN waits for another EOF1 character to start the EOF1/EOF2 character sequence), which defines when the frame is ready to be transmitted. The transmission of the frame is based on the Trigger Forwarding Rule. Valid values are in hex 0-FF. The default is 0.

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.
