Perle Products – Connectivity Solutions
Perle Systems’ Serial to Ethernet, Serial to Server and Network Connectivity solutions guarantee customers full-featured, secure and reliable products that are fully supported for smooth integration into a wide variety of connectivity applications, solutions and environments.
Console Servers/Data Centre Managment
Perle’s IOLAN Console Server family, sometimes referred to as a serial terminal server, provide data center managers what they need most – secure remote management of Cisco routers, switches and firewalls, Solaris, Windows, Unix and Linux servers, PBXs or any device with a serial console port. Give your IT professionals and network operations center (NOC) personnel the only serial console server product on the market with all of the advanced security functionality needed to easily perform secure remote data center management and out-of-band management of IT assets from anywhere in the world. And, to make your choice easy, Perle IOLAN console servers have advanced functionality across the range.
Device Servers
Perle’s IOLAN Serial Device Servers easily web or network enables existing equipment with RS232, RS422 or RS485 serial interfaces, quickly and easily. These advanced serial Device Servers are the best choice for connecting async devices such as modems, POS, printers and industrial equipment to serial-based COM port, UDP or TCP socket-based applications.
Terminal Servers
Perle’s IOLAN Terminal Servers easily connect any device with serial ports over Ethernet for access to network server applications. And, with innovative TrueSerial® technology, a Perle Terminal Server is the only product to guarantee authentic serial communications. These advanced serial to Ethernet solutions are your best choice for networking async devices such as Cisco console ports, POS terminals, servers, modems, card readers and a wide range of industrial equipment to TCP/IP Ethernet.
Media Converters
Perle’s Ethernet-Fiber Converters enable connections of UTP copper-based ethernet equipment over a fiber optic link to take advantage of the benefits of fiber. Copper-based Ethernet connections are limited to a data transmission distance of only 100 meters when using unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. By using an Ethernet to fiber conversion solution, fiber optic cabling can now be used to extend this link over a greater distance.
Ethernet Extenders
When you need to extend Ethernet services beyond the general IEEE 802.3 limits of 328ft / 100m, and new fibre cabling is cost prohibitive, Ethernet Extenders are the perfect solution. Perle Ethernet Extenders transparently extend 10/100/1000 Ethernet connections across copper wiring. Use single twisted pair ( CAT5/6/7 ), coax or any existing copper wiring previously used in alarm circuits, E1/T1 circuits, RS-232, RS-422, RS-485, CCTV and CATV applications. Perle has a wide variety of Ethernet Extenders to meet every need.
Ethernet I/O Device Servers
Perle’s Ethernet I/O technology (IOLAN DS I/O Device Servers) enables comprehensive access and control of remote digital I/O, analog I/O, pulse I/O, relays and temperature sensors as well as connections of remote serial equipment on any IP network. The IOLAN DS I/O has the ability to monitor environmental alarms, intrusion detection, relay contact closures and equipment failure. Through remote operator or application control, opening and closing of integrated relay contacts or activation of digital output signals can be incorporated into any response of a critical event.
Remote Power Switches
Perle’s Remote Power Switches (RPS) enable you to remotely power on/off/cycle Data Center equipment to reduce downtime, service costs and resources. Operate as an integrated solution with Perle IOLAN Console Servers or as a standalone device over Ethernet.
Serial Cards
Perle’s Serial Card lines enable you to easily add RS232, RS422, RS485 serial ports to your PC or server. Compatible with PCI, PCI-X or PCI Express bus slots, Perle serial cards are the only products that support all major operating systems including Windows, Vista, Linux, Solaris, SPARC as well as SCO.
Parallel Cards
Perle’s Parallel PCI card family enables users to add parallel ports supporting the full IEEE 1284 parallel port standard to their PCs or servers. These universal PCI cards meet the PCI and PCI Express standards that have been adopted by PC server manufacturers and are available in standard and low profile form factors. Serial-parallel PCI combo cards are also available for those applications that require both serial RS232 and parallel ports on a single PCI or PCI Express card interface.
Multi-Modem Cards
The Perle PCI-RAS V.92 Multimodem cards provide a simple solution coupled with high performance to deliver multiple voice, fax and data communications over V.92 56K integrated modems. The applications it can serve include Remote Access, Internet access and Fax Serving for either Windows or Unix/Linux operating.
