IOLAN Device Server Features and Benefits
TrueSerial® delivers the most authentic serial connections across Ethernet
Powerful processors for the best throughput and performance on the market
Indicators for network and serial interfaces for easy troubleshooting
Plug & Play installation utility eliminates configuration hassles for all IOLANs on you IP network
TruePort software provides true remote serial ports over an Ethernet LAN
Share a serial port with multiple TCP or UDP servers
Software Development Kit available to develop powerful custom applications
Power over serial cable models eliminate costs of a separate power installation
Next Generation IP support (IPv6) for investment protection and network compatibility
Compact and protective solid steel enclosure for tabletop, wall mount or DIN rail mounting
Flexible and Reliable Serial to Ethernet Connections
The IOLAN DG/TG is ideal for connecting serial-based COM port, UDP or
TCP socket based applications to remote devices. Perle’s TruePort redirector provides fixed TTY or COM ports to server based applications
enabling communication with remote devices connected to Perle device servers. You can also tunnel
serial data between devices across an IP network.
Easy to set up and manage, the IOLAN has a software selectable RS-232/422/485 interface capability
which simplifies setup and eliminates mechanical tampering associated with DIP switch based products.

Perle’s Device Management software, shipped as standard with the IOLAN DG/TG, provides better
centralised control and management of multiple units resulting in maximum uptime for your remote
equipment. Protection against electrostatic discharges and power surges is provided on the IOLAN
DG/TG with its robust 15Kv ESD protection circuitry enabling organizations to utilize this solution with
confidence.
IOLAN Device Server 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.
Perle IOLAN Device Servers utilize customer installable “Device Plug-ins” to successfully network devices
where other solutions have failed. Request a free engineering consultation now.
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 advanced 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 be IPv6 compatible. 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.
Lifetime Warranty
The Perle IOLAN DG/TG Device Server 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.

TCP
Using RAW TCP Sockets
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 thePerle IOLAN serial-Ethernet adapter.
UDP
10/12
Using Raw UDP Sockets
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
Console Management
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
Connect Serial-based Applications with a COM/TTY Port Driver
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.
11/12
Tunneling
Serial Tunneling between two Serial Devices
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
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.
