Optional Global Cellular Integration
Models with integrated Cellular protect your data center and branch office out-of-band management infrastructure against wired LAN failure. It can also transmit serial data or establish a direct serial-to-serial peer connection over cellular networks. This is ideal when devices are located where hardwired Ethernet connections are not available but cellular networks, with their affordable data packages, are accessible.
Built-in PerleARMOR™ security shield
PerleARMOR™ is a robust set of standards-based security features integrated into every IOLAN SCR Console Server. Perle is committed to the standards and regulations that industries require for device security, identity, and data privacy.
- Secure Boot: By ensuring that the IOLAN SCR boots using only trusted software user can have confidence that malware and rootkits cannot compromise the integrity or security of the device. It provides a robust defense against a variety of threats, supports regulatory compliance, and maintains device integrity.
- Protect against unauthorized access: Two-factor authentication (2FA), IEEE 802.1x, and support for AAA protocols like TACACS+, Radius with RADSec, and LDAP enable integration with enterprise-grade systems.
- Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 provides hardware-based encryption, secure key storage, platform integrity, and compliance with security regulations.
- Secure Internet Transmissions: The IOLAN SCR ensures the integrity of data flowing across the network by only accepting signed and encrypted files through secured tunnels.
- Secure Remote Access: Create a secure tunnel using OpenVPN or IPSec to ensure your confidential data is protected and secure
- The built-in firewall offers intuitive policies to protect inside networks from unauthorized access. The firewall also allows inside networks to be separated from each other. If there are network resources that need to be available to an outside user, such as a web or FTP server, these resources can be placed on a separate network behind the firewall in a demilitarized zone (DMZ).
- Enable or disable physical ports and specific protocols to limit the attack surface, control the types of traffic that can flow through your network, reduce congestion, and meet regulatory requirements.
- FIPS 140-2 Software version: for compliance with US and Canadian Federal Government regulations for protecting sensitive information.
Other Key Features:
- Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP): Simplifies configuration, administration, and deployment, eliminating the need for on-site technical support while saving time and reducing errors.
- Easy Network Integration: full IPv4/IPv6 routing capabilities with extensive protocol support, including VRRP, RIP, OSPF, and BGP.
- Flexible Deployment: 1U form factor with up to 4 x Uplink ports and dual AC power inputs ensure uninterrupted operation through redundancy and reliability
- Automated Network Recovery: Utilize rules-based automation to detect, analyze, and resolve network issues swiftly and efficiently.
- TrueSerial® Technology: Ensures authentic serial connections across Ethernet, maintaining protocol integrity.
- Cloud Hosting -- Deploy and manage your network from the cloud
Virtualization & Edge Computing Tools
As infrastructures expand, there is a massive global demand for more processing power at the network edge. This requires advanced equipment with built-in functionality to run distributed tasks without being dependent on a connection to a central host.
IOLAN SCR Console Servers, with native support for OCI Containers and virtual machines (VMs), enable users to optimize edge computing processing capabilities by deploying applications tailored to suit unique or evolving use cases with low latency and real-time responsiveness. One of the main advantages of this solution is the ability to deploy custom third-party applications in a container or a VM that runs tasks and performs intelligent actions closer to the source without obstructing the core functionality of the IOLAN Console Server. Perle's OCI Containers are based on the Docker platform and support public and private container registries such as Docker Hub, Amazon ECR, Opencontainers, GitHub, BuildKit, Podman, and Buildah. The VMs are well suited for complex applications that require a fully dedicated, isolated OS environment to run on the IOLAN to help IT departments optimize their infrastructure and improve operational efficiency.
For advanced automation, the IOLAN SCR
Lifetime Warranty
All Perle IOLAN SCR models 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. With the Perle IOLAN SCR deploying and upgrading new services and equipment, while minimizing capital expenditures, is easy.
Software Features - IOLAN SCR Secure Console Server
Management & Configuration
Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP): automates the provisioning of both the configuration and firmware files through DHCP/BOOTP Options
Application Virtualization support like VM (KVM) / OCI Containers (Docker)
Management & Monitoring: HTTP/HTTPS, CLI, Telnet, SNMPv1/v2/v3, Application Virtualization, RESTful API, SMS, TACACS+
Central Management support (i.e. cloud or local) using PerleVIEW and/or Network Assist
Multiple firmware versions can be saved on the unit. This allows the customer to change between older and newer firmware versions without the need to download.
Multiple configuration files can be stored on the unit., This allows the customer to easily switch between older and newer configurations during testing or production deployments.
Automatic check for software updates available over FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, SCP, SFTP, and TFTP
LLDP-Link Layer Discovery Protocol, as per IEEE 802.1AB, is a neighbor discovery protocol that is used for network devices to advertise information about themselves to other devices on the network. This protocol runs over the data-link layer, which allows two systems running different network layer protocols to learn about each other via TLVs (Type-Length-Value).
RESTful API uses HTTP requests to access and use IOLAN SCR x86 statistics and configuration data. Any of the CLI commands can be executed through a RESTful API script that can be controlled externally from a server.
Connectivity Watchdog can instruct the IOLAN SCR x86 to take different actions (i.e. reboot) if the network connectivity to a pre-define IP address is lost. This is helpful for situations when the IOLAN SCR x86 is deployed on remote locations hard to service if the network connectivity is lost.
Automatic DNS Update: Utilize DHCP Opt 81 to set IOLAN domain name for easy name management and with Dynamic DNS support, users on the Internet can access the device server by name without having to know its IP address. See Automatic DNS update support for details
