Single port device server offers easy Ethernet

The IOLAN DS1 single port device server is claimed to be the most advanced device server on the market, allowing serial to Ethernet connections to be created with the greatest of ease.

Available now from Celsum Technologies, the IOLAN DS1 single port device server from Perle Systems is claimed to be the most advanced device server on the market, allowing serial to Ethernet connections to be created with the greatest of ease.

The IOLAN DS1 device servers will connect a single peripheral with a software-selectable serial interface (EIA RS232/422/485), such as a scanner, printer or digital camera, in a remote site over Ethernet to a server situated in a central site.

The IOLAN DS1 features next generation support (IPV6), so that when you upgrade your system you will not need to upgrade your device server.

The interface can be easily selected through the supplied DeviceManager software, effectively eradicating the need for any intervention by the user.

The DS1 is compact, can be wall or desk mounted and has DIN rail mount option, making it ideal for industrial as well as commercial and domestic applications.

Perle's limited lifetime warranty is included with every unit, as is protection against electrostatic discharges and power surges in the form of the 15kV ESD protection circuitry.

The IOLAN DS1 is fitted with a 25-pindB25M serial connector and a 10/100 RJ45 socket for the network connection, and will support IPV6, IPV4, TCP/IP, CIDR, ARP, RARP, UDP, UDP Multicast, ICMP, BOOTP, DHCP, TFTP, Telnet, Reverse Telnet, RCP and HTTP protocols.

As Celsum Technologies' MD, Roy Carter, says: "The IOLAN DS1 is a very welcome addition to our range of instrumentation".

"As well as complementing our process control and strain gauge conditioning products, this device server will be of interest to professional IT workers as well as scientific and engineering staff in laboratories, offices, factories, process and manufacturing plants and, indeed, at home".

"Additionally, by allowing a range of devices to be easily connected over a network, many safety and security issues may be easily, effectively and efficiently resolved".

The IOLAN DS1 single port device server is the ideal solution for serial to network communication, integrating simplicity with great technical support, and complements the UltraPort USB to serial port adapters offered by Celsum.
