Secure Serial to Ethernet Connectivity
The IOLAN SDS 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 such as credit card holder information 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 such as a credit
card reader 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
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.

Advanced IP Technology
With support for Next Generation IP (IPv6) the IOLAN 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 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.
Flexible and Reliable Serial to Ethernet Connections
An IOLAN SDS 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 SDS 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.
Extended Temperature Support - IOLAN SDS T
The IOLAN SDS T range addresses the need for connecting
remote serial devices that operate in extreme temperatures
(-40F to +165F) to an enterprise’s IP network.
These devices, found
in traffic management, pipelines, weather tracking and
other remote applications, operate in temperatures that
cannot be supported by commercial based serial to Ethernet
solutions. The new IOLAN SDS T, available with 1, 2 or
4 ports, will operate in –40C to +74C (-40F to +165F)
temperatures, addressing this need.
A power pigtail is included with each unit to connect customer
provided external 9-30VDC power to the IOLAN SDS T barrel
connector. An optional extended temperature power adapter
from Perle is also available.
Integrated V.92 Modem - IOLAN SDS M
The IOLAN SDS M available with 1 or 3 ports is a serial
terminal server with an integrated V.92 data modem.
Delivering
high performance in a compact size, the IOLAN SDS M offers
robust security, flexibility and next generation IPv6 technology
making it ideal for applications that require remote device/console
management, data capture or monitoring over a dial-up modem
connection. The on-board RJ11 modem connection provides
a more secure and reliable connection to the POTS network
versus some competitive models that require an external
RJ45 to RJ11 dongle.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) Support - IOLAN
SDS P
The IOLAN SDS P, available with 1, 2 or 4 ports, has full
PoE support. It operates as a Powered Device under IEEE 802.3af
supporting end-span and mid-span power sources ( PSE ). Some
other serial device servers that claim compliancy with 803.2af
are in fact restricted to using mid-span power sources -
buyer beware.
The IOLAN SDS P also has Inrush Current Protection to protect
the device from input current rushes that may occur during
power up. The IOLAN SDS P, with this protection, begins with
a low current draw stage to protect the power sourcing device
(PSD), and then switches to a high current stage allowing
the IOLAN SDS P to draw its required power up a maximum 12.95
watts.
Similar in principle to the way that the wire pair that
carries your POTS (Plain Old Telephone System) telephone
signals into your house carries sufficient power for the
headset, dial, and ringer systems for your telephone, PoE
delivers DC power (up to about 13 watt ) over standard Ethernet
cabling (CAT5 and better). That is enough wattage to power
a growing number of commonly-used devices as well as IT
equipment.
PoE has been around for a number of years, with proprietary
(and often noninteroperable) implementations from various
vendors to power wireless access points, VoIP phones and
network cameras. In June 2003, however, the IEEE ratified
its 802.3af Power over Ethernet standard, which has, in turn,
spurred standard-compliant 802.3af products. This enables
organizations now to deploy equipment in locations that are
difficult or too costly to have separate AC power installed
such as ceilings, walls and kiosks.
Lifetime Warranty
The Perle IOLAN SDS is 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.
