Engineers and Project Managers that require a cost effective Power over Ethernet serial RS232-to-Ethernet Solution that maintains serial device protocol integrity across Ethernet must consider the IOLAN STG PoE Terminal Server. Having the highest performance processor available along with the Perle’s unique TrueSerial® technology, the IOLAN STG will provide the most authentic serial connections across Ethernet.
The IOLAN STG P Terminal Server has full PoE support and 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 802.3af are in fact restricted to using mid-span power sources - buyer beware.
IOLAN STG4 PoE Terminal Servers are ideal for:
- Engineers and Project Managers requiring a high performance serial to Ethernet interface for up to 4 serial RS232 based devices. Connect to serial based applications over Ethernet
- IT Professionals requiring a cost-effective 4 port Terminal Server or serial Console Server for out of band management of IT equipment located in smaller data centers or remote sites
- Organizations that need to deploy equipment in locations that are difficult or too costly to have separate AC power installed such as ceilings, walls and kiosks
Why IOLAN STG PoE Terminal Servers are the preferred choice:
- High performance processors for the best throughput available. Ideal for time sensitive applications

Application Diagrams
TCP
A raw TCP socket connection which can be initiated from the serial-Ethernet device or from the remote host/server. This can either be on a point to point or shared basis where a serial device can be shared amongst multiple devices. TCP sessions can be initiated either from the TCP server application or from the Perle IOLAN serial-Ethernet adapter.
UDP
For use with UDP based applications, Perle IOLANs can convert serial equipment data for transport across UDP packets either on a point to point basis or shared across multiple devices.
Console Server
For access to remote console ports on routers, switches,etc, Perle IOLAN’s enable administrators secure access to these RS232 ports via inband Reverse Telnet / SSH or out of band with dial-up modems. Perle IOLAN models with integrated modems are available.
COM/TTY
Serial ports can be connected to network servers or workstations running Perle's TruePort software operating as a virtual COM port. Sessions can be initiated either from the Perle IOLAN or from TruePort.
Tunneling
Serial Tunneling enables you to establish a link across Ethernet to a serial port on another IOLAN. Both IOLAN serial ports must be configured for Serial Tunneling (typically one serial port is configured as a Tunnel Server and the other serial port as a Tunnel Client).
Virtual Modem
Enables the serial-Ethernet adapter to simulate a modem connection. When connected to the IOLAN and initiates a modem connection, the IOLAN starts up a TCP connection to another IOLAN serial-Ethernet adapter configured with a Virtual Modem serial port or to a host running a TCP application.
