For secure serial to Ethernet connectivity applications the utilize Power over Ethernet (PoE) sources, the IOLAN SDS PoE Device Server is the most advanced compact product available on the market today. Delivering high performance in a compact size, an IOLAN SDSP offers extensive security, flexibility and next generation IPv6 technology making it ideal for applications that require remote device/console management, data capture or monitoring.
The IOLAN SDSP Device 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 803.2af are in fact restricted to using mid-span power sources - buyer beware.
The IOLAN SDSP also has Inrush Current Protection to protect the device from input current rushes that may occur during power up. With this protection the IOLAN SDS PoE Device Server begins with a low current draw stage to protect the power sourcing device (PSD), and then switches to a high current stage allowing the IOLAN SDS P to draw its required power up a maximum 12.95 watts.
The IOLAN SDS PoE Device Server is ideal for 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 SDS PoE Device Servers are the preferred choice:
- Powerful processors for the best throughput and performance on the market
- Power over Ethernet (PoE) support - Operates as a Powered Device under IEEE 802.3af supporting end-span and mid-span power sources (PSE). Inrush Current Protection for continuous operation.
- 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 PoE 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 such as credit card holder information 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 such as a credit card reader 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.
