The IOLAN+ Series is a range of feature rich TCP/IP terminal communications servers which enables serial devices to be connected directly to LANs. The serial devices can be terminals, printers, modems, bar code readers or any other RS-232 devices. IOLAN+ uses a standard Ethernet physical connection and TCP/IP for the software connection. Serial connections using RS232 enable IOLAN+ to connect to a wide range of devices.
IOLAN+ implements the full nine pin connection on both the DB25 and the RJ45 connectors, which many vendors ignore. This allows even the most complex devices such as high speed modems to be connected directly to the lOLAN+ and fully controlled without loss of data or performance even at 115.2Kbps. IOLAN+ is available in a variety of different packaging styles including stand-alone and rack-mount. With lOLAN+’s flexibility it can be used in a large number of applications, from workgroup computing to remote access. IOLAN+ has the performance to handle a diverse range of high speed devices in complex applications environments and can transmit and receive data at speeds of up to 115.2k baud. To achieve this high speed and to maintain a high throughput, IOLAN+ utilises the performance of RISC based CD180 UARTs in combination with highly tuned firmware. IOLAN+ can provide users with up to four network connections per port, with a maximum of 64 connections per 16 port IOLAN+. Ports can be configured for dedicated connections to a pre-selected host for security and for ease of use. Users can select between 10 pre-configured hosts or use DNS support to reach others. Administrators can simply gain access to any IOLAN+ on the network using Telnet. This important facility allows easy remote configuration and diagnostics. IOLAN+ also supports the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) at MIB 1, MIB ll, Character MIB and Chase specific enterprise variables. Using SNMP, the network or system administrator can monitor conditions on the network, often anticipating problems and correcting them before the user has noticed.
