The IOLAN SDS HL Device Server is a secure serial to ethernet solution built to operate in hazardous industrial locations ( Hazloc ). Certified with a hazardous area classification as a Class 1 Division 2 device, the IOLAN SDS HL enables safe and reliable operation in locations where volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid–produced vapors, or combustible liquid–produced vapors are handled, processed, or used.

Why IOLAN SDS HL Device Servers are the preferred choice:

• High performance 66Mhz, 87 MIPS processor for the best performance on
  the market
• Class 1 Divison 2 certified for hazardous locations
• Conformal coating provides protection against moisture, dust and chemicals
• Operation in environments requiring extended ambient operating temperatures on -40C to +74C (-40F to +165F).
• TrueSerial® packet technology delivers the most authentic serial connections across Ethernet for serial protocol integrity
• Indicators for network and serial interfaces for easy
  troubleshooting
• Plug & Play installation utility eliminates configuration
  hassles for all IOLAN’s on your IP network
• TruePort – Perle’s com/tty redirector for serial based applications operates on Windows, Vista, Linux, Solaris, SCO and Unix
• FIPS 140-2 – Cryptographic modules meet US Government NIST compliancy
• Power over serial cable eliminates 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
• 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

Secure Serial to Ethernet Connectivity

The IOLAN SDS HL Device Server enables administrators to securely access remote serial console ports on equipment such as PBX, servers, routers, network storage equipment
and security appliances through an IP network. Sensitive
data is protected
through standard encryption tools such as Secure Shell (SSH)
and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). Access by authorized users
is assured via authentication schemes such as RADIUS, TACACS+,
LDAP, Kerberos, NIS and RSA Security’s SecurID tokens.

By using encryption technologies, an IOLAN can protect sensitive
and confidential data from a serial device before being sent across a corporate Intranet
or public Internet. For compatibility with peer encryption
devices, all of the major encryption ciphers such as AES,
3DES, RC4, RC2 and CAST128 are fully supported.

Recognized as the most secure method for communicating to
remote private networks over the Internet, the IPSec standard
provides robust authentication and encryption of IP packets
at the network layer of the OSI model. As a standard it is
ideal for multi-vendor interoperation within a network providing
flexibility and the ability to match the right solution for
a particular application.

IOLAN Plug-ins

By choosig a Perle IOLAN 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. In the unlikely event that the Perle IOLAN 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

Advanced IP Technology

With support for Next Generation IP (IPv6) the IOLAN Serial to Ethernet Device Server 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.

Flexible and Reliable Serial to Ethernet Connections

An IOLAN SDS HL Device Server is ideal for connecting serial based COM port,
UDP or TCP socket based applications to remote devices. Perle’s TruePort re-director provides fixed TTY or
COM ports to serial based applications enabling communication with remote
devices connected to Perle IOLAN’s either in encrypted
or clear text modes. You can also tunnel serial data between
devices across an IP network.

Perle’s Device Management software provides better
centralized control of multiple units resulting in maximum
uptime for your remote equipment.

All IOLAN SDS HL models have added protection against electrostatic
discharges and power surges with robust 15Kv ESD protection
circuitry enabling organizations to utilize this solution
in the field with confidence.

Lifetime Warranty

All Perle IOLAN SDS HL Serial to Ethernet Device Servers 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
