Ethernet rising in real-time network settings

Dealing with interoperability gaps
One issue with using Ethernet in real-time networks is that many specialized tools in this market segment are built on serial architectures. This is particularly true in industrial automation and control networks. Terminal server infrastructure can help organizations overcome this problem. Serial to Ethernet terminal servers streamline interoperability between serial systems and Ethernet solutions, making it much easier to establish effective networks.

Perle's serial to Ethernet converters connect serial based equipment across an Ethernet network. The Perle IOLAN range of Console Servers, Device Servers and Terminal Servers feature built-in support for IPv6 along with a broad range of authentication methods and encryption technologies.
