Terminal & Device Servers

Engineers and Project Managers that require a cost effective 4 or 8 port serial RS232-to-Ethernet solution that maintains serial device protocol integrity across Ethernet must consider the IOLAN STS-D. Having the highest performance processor available along with the Perle's unique TrueSerialTM technology, the IOLAN STS-D will provide the most authentic serial connections across Ethernet. IOLAN STS4-D Serial Terminal Servers are also available with support for Power over Ethernet (PoE).

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
• Compact size offers the smallest 4 or 8 port serial to Ethernet solution on the market

Why IOLAN STS D Terminal Servers are the preferred choice:

• High performance processors for the best throughput available. Ideal for time sensitive applications

• EasyPort Web - Access equipment serial console ports by using your java-enabled Internet browser
• TruePort - Perle's com/tty redirector for serial based applications operates on Windows, Vista, Linux, Solaris, SCO and Unix
• Clustering - Provides a single view of all out of band console ports. Ideal for large data centers
• FIPS 140-2 - Cryptographic modules meet US Government NIST compliancy
• Dynamic DNS - Easy console management access from anywhere on the Internet
• Intelligent Power cycling of equipment with Perle Remote Power Switches
• Java-free browser access to remote serial console ports via Telnet and SSH
• Ping watchdog probes enable customers to power cycle equipment with attached Perle RPS power switches in the event of an unresponsive networking gear
• Lifetime warranty - best investment protection available

The Perle IOLAN SCG W Console Servers provide data center managers with the ultimate solution for redundant, secure remote console management of any device with an RS232 RJ45 or USB console port. And, the IOLAN G16 RS-Multi Card, with 16 x software-selectable RS232/422/485 RJ45 interfaces enables organizations to connect a variety of serial-based devices to Ethernet. The integrated WiFi provides multiple alternate access methods to manage, maintain, and troubleshoot critical network devices, as well as transmit data from mission-critical equipment over wireless LAN networks. With an expandable modular hardware platform, integrated firewall, two-factor authentication, advanced failover to multiple networks, and Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP), your IT professionals and network operations center (NOC) personnel will have everything they need to easily perform secure remote data center management and out-of-band management of IT assets from anywhere in the world. This cost-effective 1U rack solution also maintains protocol integrity across Ethernet and adds full IPv4/IPv6 routing capabilities with support for RIP, OSPF, and BGP protocols.

The modular IOLAN SCG W Console Server provides up to 50 Console Management ports supporting USB, RS232, RS422, and RS485 interfaces. The modular design of the IOLAN SCG allows the user to swap, upgrade, and scale to any combination of 16-port module cards to support all types of admin ports in one Console Management solution.

The Perle IOLAN SCG is the only industry solution that can support up to 50 high-density USB 3.0 ports that are compatible with all manufacturers’ USB solutions, including Cisco routers, switches, firewalls, servers (Solaris, Windows, Unix and Linux) PBXs, network storage equipment and security appliances.

The RS232 RJ45 ports are software configurable to use straight thru or rolled cables to connect your Cisco equipment and support DCD pin can be configured for 3rd party devices that need this extra signal. The software-selectable RS232/422/485 RJ45 interfaces simplify configuration and eliminate mechanical tampering associated with DIP switches. This mean the Perle IOLAN SCG supports more serial devices than any other Console Server on the market.

2 Factor Authentication (2FA) ensures access to equipment and data is limited to authorized users, while remote authentication (RADIUS, TACACS+, & LDAP) management, enables integration with enterprise-grade systems to control access to devices in the field.

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).

Network data transmissions and access to remote console admin ports on IT equipment are protected through standard encryption tools such as Secure Shell (SSH) and Secure Sockets Layer (TLS/SSL). By using encryption technologies, an IOLAN SCG W Console Server protects sensitive and confidential data before being sent across a corporate Intranet or public Internet.

The Vertiv™ Avocent® ACS 8000 Advanced Console Server system integrates connectivity features for secure in-band and out-of-band network remote management of IT assets from anywhere in the world. Includes dual AC power supply and analog modem. The system offers scalability and reduces operational costs for a range of applications from insurance and financial institutions, to education, government, healthcare, oil and gas, the military, retail/wholesale and more.
