Industrial Serial to Ethernet
 IOLAN
DS/TS device servers are the best choice for industrial serial to Ethernet
connectivity applications. Delivering a cost effective solution in
a compact size, an IOLAN DS/TS offers high performance, flexibility
and advanced IP technology making it ideal for applications
that require an efficient way of communicating with industrial serial
devices over an ethernet network.

Flexible and Reliable Serial to Ethernet Connections
The IOLAN DS/TS is ideal for connecting industrial serial based applications
as well as custom UDP or TCP socket based applications to remote serial
devices. Perle’s TruePort re-director provides fixed TTY or COM
ports to server based applications enabling communication with remote
devices connected to Perle device servers. You can also tunnel serial
data between devices across an IP network.
Easy to set up and manage, the IOLAN DS1 has a software selectable
RS232 / RS422 / RS485 interface capability which simplifies setup and
eliminates mechanical tampering associated with DIP switch based products.
Perle’s Device Management software, shipped as standard with
the IOLAN DS/TS, provides better centralised control and management
of multiple units resulting in maximum uptime for your remote equipment.
Protection against electrostatic discharges and power surges is provided
on the IOLAN DS/TS with its robust 15Kv ESD protection circuitry enabling
organisations to utilise this solution with confidence.
True COM port Operation
Backed with the experience of connecting hundreds of thousands of
different devices to Ethernet over the years, using a Perle Device
Server you can rest assured that virtually any device with a serial
COM port will operate in conjunction with your desired application
exactly as it did when you had it directly connected. If the unlikely
event occurs that the Perle Device Server does not enable this out
of the box, Perle will make it work. Request a free engineering consultation

In most cases connecting devices with serial COM ports to an Ethernet
network using Device Server technology is straightforward. The
idea is that a Device Server operates just like a local COM port so
that the devices you network operate like they did when they were directly
connected to the application server.
However, due to the nature of Ethernet, problems can arise if your
device or application is particularly sensitive to latency, timing
sequences or inter-character grouping.
In these cases the Device Server must provide special data handling.
Other Device Server vendors have attempted to solve this issue by
having you, the customer, rewrite portions of your application, or
write your own code using software development kits (SDK’s).
However, in most cases the customer does not have the time, resources
or expertise to do this work.
With its innovative ACE™ technology (Adaptive Communication
Engine), Perle IOLAN Device Servers utilize customer installable “Device
Plug-ins” to successfully network devices where other solutions
have failed.
Perle provides new “Device Plug-ins” for its customers
every day. If you have a device that you are struggling to attach
to your network, contact Perle immediately.
In the rare event that our out-of-box solutions do not meet your unique
requirements, we will match you up with an existing Device Plug-in,
or tailor one for you.

Advanced IP Technology
With support for Next Generation IP (IPv6) the IOLAN range provides
organizations with investment protection to meet this rapidly growing
standard. more less
Demand for IPv6, which is compatible with IPv4 addressing schemes,
is driven by the need for more IP address. With the implementation
and rollout of 3G cellular networks, a robust method is needed to handle
the huge influx of new IP addressable devices on the Internet. In fact,
the US Department of Defense has mandated that all equipment purchased
from 2005 be IPv6 compatible with full implementation by 2008. In addition,
all major Operating Systems such as Windows, Linux, Unix and Solaris,
as well as routers, have built-in support for IPv6.
It is therefore important for end users and integrators to select
networking equipment that incorporates the IPv6 standard. The IOLAN
line with support for IPv6 already built in, is the best choice in
serial to Ethernet technology.
