The IOLAN SDST Device Servers address the need for connecting remote serial devices that operate in extreme temperatures to an enterprise IP network. The IOLAN SDST will operate in industrial grade temperatures the parameters of which are -40F to +165F (-40C to +74C). Serial based equipment found with traffic management, oil and gas pipelines, weather tracking and other remote applications must function in temperatures that cannot be supported by commercial based serial device servers. Boasting this extended temperature feature along with a rugged steel casing, the IOLAN SDST enables administrators to securely access remote serial console ports on equipment subjected to harsh environments and severe temperatures such as security cameras, alarms, traffic controllers, sensors and tracking devices through an IP network.
Why IOLAN SDST Device Servers are the preferred choice:
- High performanc 66Mhz, 87 MIPS processor for the best performance on
the market
- Operation in environments requiring extended ambient operating temperatures on -40C to +74C (-40F to +165F).
- TrueSerial® packet technology delivers the most authentic serial connections across Ethernet for serial protocol integrity
- Indicators for network and serial interfaces for easy
troubleshooting
- Plug & Play installation utility eliminates configuration
hassles for all IOLAN's on your IP network
- TruePort – Perle’s com/tty redirector for serial based applications operates on Windows, Vista, Linux, Solaris, SCO and Unix
- Built-in IPSec VPN Gateway –
access serial devices over a standard IPSEC VPN infrastructure
- Power over serial cable eliminates costs of a separate
power installation
- Next Generation IP support ( IPv6 ) for investment protection
and network compatibility
- Compact and protective solid steel enclosure for
tabletop, wall mount or DIN rail mounting
- HTTP tunneling enables firewall-safe access to remote serial devices across the internet
- Java-free browser access to remote serial console ports via Telnet and SSH
- Ping watchdog probes enable customers to power cycle equipment with attached Perle RPS power switches in the event of an unresponsive networking gear
Secure Serial to Ethernet Connectivity
The IOLAN SDST Device Server enables administrators to securely access remote serial console ports on equipment such as PBX, servers, routers, network storage equipment
and security appliances through an IP network. Sensitive
data is protected
through standard encryption tools such as Secure Shell (SSH)
and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). Access by authorized users
is assured via authentication schemes such as RADIUS, TACACS+,
LDAP, Kerberos, NIS and RSA Security's SecurID tokens.
By using encryption technologies, an IOLAN can protect sensitive
and confidential data from a serial device before being sent across a corporate Intranet
or public Internet. For compatibility with peer encryption
devices, all of the major encryption ciphers such as AES,
3DES, RC4, RC2 and CAST128 are fully supported.
Recognized as the most secure method for communicating to
remote private networks over the Internet, the IPSec standard
provides robust authentication and encryption of IP packets
at the network layer of the OSI model. As a standard it is
ideal for multi-vendor interoperation within a network providing
flexibility and the ability to match the right solution for
a particular application.
With the IOLAN VPN Gateway feature, IOLANs can participate
within an IPSec VPN infrastructure simplifying deployments
connecting to critical assets that use serial communications.
IOLAN Plug-ins
By choosig a Perle IOLAN 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. In the unlikely event that the Perle IOLAN Device Server does not enable this out of the box, Perle will make
it work.
Perle IOLAN Device Servers utilize customer installable "Device
Plug-ins" to successfully network devices where other solutions have failed. Request

Advanced IP Technology
With support for Next Generation IP (IPv6) the IOLAN Serial to Ethernet Device Server range
provides organizations with investment protection to meet
this rapidly growing standard.
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 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.
Flexible and Reliable Serial to Ethernet Connections
An IOLAN SDST Device Server is ideal for connecting serial based COM port,
UDP or TCP socket based applications to remote devices. Perle’s
TruePort re-director provides fixed TTY or
COM ports to serial based applications enabling communication with remote
devices connected to Perle IOLAN's either in encrypted
or clear text modes. You can also tunnel serial data between
devices across an IP network.
Perle's Device Management software provides better
centralized control of multiple units resulting in maximum
uptime for your remote equipment.
All IOLAN SDST models have added protection against electrostatic
discharges and power surges with robust 15Kv ESD protection
circuitry enabling organizations to utilize this solution
in the field with confidence.
Lifetime Warranty
All Perle IOLAN SDST Serial to Ethernet Device Servers are backed by the best service and support
in the industry including Perle's unique lifetime warranty.
Since 1976 Perle has been providing its customers with networking
products that have the highest levels of performance, flexibility
and quality.
