IOLAN Electric Utility Terminal Server

Electrical utility engineers and project managers that require a cost effective serial-to-Ethernet solution to help meet NERC-CIP compliance for the protection of critical cyberassets in substations must consider the IOLAN SDS HV/LDC Terminal Server. In addition to the most extensive security features available, these IOLAN’s are designed to meet harsh environments associated with Power Substations with attributes such as support for substation AC and DC voltage ranges, extended operating temperatures and meeting emission, immunity and safety approvals associated with substation IT equipment.

Ideal for

• Electrical utility engineers and Project Managers requiring a high performance serial to Ethernet interface for serial RS232 or RS485 based devices such as SCADA based RTUs and protection relays.
• Environments that require a serial terminal server with unique environmental, form factor, or power inputs in harsh environments
• Substation Automation projects where using secured communications in remote connections is required.

Why IOLAN SDS HV/LDC Terminal Servers are the preferred choice:

• NERC CIP compliance features (EPCIP EU COM(2006)786);
  • TACACS+, RADIUS for centralized authentication, authorization and accounting
  • Support for alternate TACACS+ and RADIUS hosts
  • Two factor strong authentication such as RSA’s SecureID
  • IPSEC VPN secure tunneling
  • HTTPS, SSL/TLS, SSH ( AES, 3DES ) session encryption
  • Keystroke and data logging
  • Provides the ability to display a customizable “Appropriate Use” login banner upon user access
  • Secure dial-up
  • Enable only the serial ports you need
• Meets IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 ( IEEE C37 90 ) electrical substation EMI standards
• Universal High voltage: 88-300v DC or 85-265v AC – dual power models
