Introduction

Introduction 1

Thank you for purchasing the Perle IOLAN+

Communications Server. IOLAN+ is a unique Ethernet

TCP/IP communications / terminal server allowing serial

devices to be connected directly to LANs and WANs. The

2, 4, 8 or 16 serial ports enable IOLAN+ to connect to a

wide range of devices including:

•

Modems for remote access and Internet access

• ISDN adapters for branch remote access

and Internet access

• Terminals for multi-user Unix systems

• PCs using terminal emulation or SLIP/PPP

• All types of serial printers

• Data acquisition equipment (manufacturing,

laboratory, etc.)

• Retail point-of-sale equipment (bar coding,

registers, etc.)

The performance and flexibility of IOLAN+ allows you to

use a wide range of high speed devices in complex

application environments. These operating systems include:

• Windows

95/98

• Windows NT

• Citrix Winframe

• SCO Unix & Gemini

• IBM AIX

• Sunsoft Solaris

• Hewlett Packard HP-UX

• Data General DG/UX

•

All other variants of Unix (BSD, Linux, IRIX, etc.)

Introduction

1.1 About this

Guide

This guide describes the features and applications of the

IOLAN+ terminal/communications server from the level of

novice user to more experienced system installer. It includes

information about the IOLAN+ table top units as well as the

IOLAN+ rack mount unit (form factor is the only

difference between the two).

As an experienced user, you may save yourself some set-up time

by following the instructions in the IOLAN+ Quick Start Guide

included with your package. Consult other sections in this

guide as required. Release notes are also available with this unit

(enclosed, or available from our web sites).

Note: IOLAN+ supports Windows

systems including

Windows NT

, Windows

95/98 and Windows

3.x. When

compared to Unix, there are several key features not included

with Windows

systems such as TFTP, dial-out socket

connections, etc. However, we have provided a briefing on

these in the applicable sections. In many cases, we will point

you to our FTP sites for the latest tips and software for IOLAN+

and Windows

systems.
