QUINT Power Supplies and DC/DC Converters, with SFB technology, will supply several times the nominal current for a short period to selectively trip miniature circuit breakers and fuses connected on the secondary side.

WDM technology reduces costs and maximizes fiber usage by transmitting on separate frequencies within a single fiber that can carry multiple light wavelengths simultaneously without interference. WDM comes in two forms: conventional/coarse (CWDM) and dense (DWDM), which use different wavelength patterns.

Perle IDS Managed Switches support Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP), which is a standards-based protocol used in Ring topologies to avoid single points of failure by providing a recovery time of 10ms or less.

Perle's all IDS Managed Switches come equipped with the P-Ring feature, which prevents packets from looping forever and rebroadcasting the packets to flood the network by providing an easy-to-use method for configuring a ring network that uses standard spanning tree protocols.

Advantages of using Software Access Point (SoftAP), which is used in peer to peer connects, offers a more modern improvement over ad hoc mode and includes an easier connection method.

PTP - Precision Time Protocol is available in Perle Industrial Managed Switches and is in demand for process synchronization in various industries, such as automation and control systems, measurement and automatic test systems, power generation, transmission and distribution systems as well as telecommunications.

Perle products use IEEE 802.1x and Port Security to control network access by limiting and identifying MAC addresses. Any violations trigger actions like sending SNMP trap messages and shutting down ports.

Perle products, which have password strength checking enabled, will ensure that passwords meet the strong password requirements specified by the NERC CIP-007-3 standard.

Perle supports Management Access List (ACL) for restricting access to the management interface of their devices. Administrators can specify allowed IP addresses, effectively blocking unauthorized workstations from attempting access.

Advanced Protocols in Perle Industrial Managed Switches such as LLDP, GVRP, Voice VLANs, MSTP, RSTP are optimizing the performance and intelligence of the network.

Perle PoE Ethernet Extenders are the only VDSL- based Ethernet Extenders on the market that have a built-in PSE controller that is fully compliant with PoE standards.

The PD Reset feature on Perle's PoE Ethernet Extenders allow a central location to remotely reset PoE devices like IP cameras and wireless access points, even in isolated and difficult-to-reach areas, eliminating the need for costly and time-consuming on-site visits.

PoE Ethernet Extenders provides PoE Extension, Power over VDSL and they are using Power Multiplier Feature.

The steps explain how to keep the remaining available power budget number positive, so you can be assured that your fiber network will deliver the required performance over the life of the installation.

PerleVIEW Device Management System is an Enterprise-grade, multi-user, Windows server-based centralized management package that simplifies the configuration, administration, monitoring, and troubleshooting of Perle products in medium to large-scale deployments. PerleVIEW follows the ISO Telecommunications Management Network model and framework (FCAPS) for managing a network.

Perle offers Gigabit Media Converters that enable Gigabit speeds across a multimode fiber link up to 2km in length to avoid the cost, complications, and lead times associated with the installation of new fiber.

SFP Optical Transceivers are interchangeable. Perle SFP Media Converters and Industrial Ethernet Switches enable a device to connect to a variety of fiber and copper cable types and distances.

Perle's Fast Ethernet Media Converters combine an existing 802.3 standard with its own Link Pass-Through feature to provide the necessary signaling with the remote peer, ensuring that there is always end-to-end transparency to network equipment end points.

To protect enterprise infrastructure, proper authentication methods and encrypted sessions are essential when accessing networking equipment. Perle Products support secure management sessions, ensuring enhanced security for network administrators and users.

Perle Products that support AAA (Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting) Security Services gives legitimate users the ability to access networked assets while limiting unauthorized access.

Understanding the need for an onboard processor in the media converter that continuously monitors the status of the links connected to its transceiver ports.

By encorporating HTTP Tunneling technology, Perle IOLANÆs are the first and only serial device servers to securely connect and transport serial data for transport between remote serial peers over the internet without the need to change firewall settings.

Serial Tunneling enables you to establish a link across Ethernet to a serial port on another Serial Device Server.

Perle's IOLAN Console Servers eliminate accidental downtime caused by power-off break signals from Terminal Servers to attached Solaris servers by preventing the signals from being sent. Administrators can still send an intentional break through a special key sequence. It's an ideal solution for remote Solaris console management.

The Perle IOLANs server's Multihost feature enable sharing a serial port with multiple TCP or UDP servers. This makes them perfect for applications that require simultaneous data recording to multiple data loggers and providing redundancy backup.

Perle's TruePort COM port re-director can provide the IP-Encapsulation for tunneling of serial data into network packets and the transport of the data over a network.
