Secure Serial
Connectivity
The IOLAN SDS 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 protects 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.
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.
With the IOLAN VPN Gateway feature, IOLANs can participate
within an IPSec VPN infrastructure simplifying deployments
connecting to critical assets that use serial communications.
IOLAN 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.

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 3G 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 from 2005 be IPv6 compatible
with full implementation by 2008. 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 is capable of pseudo connections to servers
via Telnet, Rlogin, UDP or TCP socket based applications
to remote devices. Where a server’s application needs
to access a fixed TTY or COM ports, Perle’s TruePort software supplied with each device server performs COM port
redirection across IP networks to remote Perle device servers
either in encrypted or clear text modes.
Centralized control and management of multiple deployments
is maintained through Perle’s Device Manager software
resulting in maximum uptime for your remote equipment.
Protection against electrostatic discharges and power surges
is provided on all IOLAN SDS models with its robust 15Kv
ESD protection circuitry enabling organizations to utilize
this solution in the field with confidence.
Lifetime Warranty
Perle IOLAN SDS secure 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 and quality.
