Electrical utility engineers and project managers that require a cost effective serial-to-Ethernet solution to help meet NERC-CIP compliance for the protection of critical cyberassets in substations must consider the IOLAN SDS HV/LDC Terminal Server. In addition to the most extensive security features available, these IOLAN’s are designed to meet harsh environments associated with Power Substations with attributes such as support for substation AC and DC voltage ranges, extended operating temperatures and meeting emission, immunity and safety approvals associated with substation IT equipment.

Ideal for

• Electrical utility engineers and Project Managers requiring a high performance serial to Ethernet interface for serial RS232 or RS485 based devices such as SCADA based RTUs and protection relays.
• Environments that require a serial terminal server with unique environmental, form factor, or power inputs in harsh environments
• Substation Automation projects where using secured communications in remote connections is required.

Why IOLAN SDS HV/LDC Terminal Servers are the preferred choice:

• NERC CIP compliance features (EPCIP EU COM(2006)786);
  • TACACS+, RADIUS for centralized authentication, authorization and accounting
  • Support for alternate TACACS+ and RADIUS hosts
  • Two factor strong authentication such as RSA’s SecureID
  • HTTPS, SSL/TLS, SSH ( AES, 3DES ) session encryption
  • Keystroke and data logging
  • Provides the ability to display a customizable “Appropriate Use” login banner upon user access
  • Secure dial-up
  • Enable only the serial ports you need
• Meets IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 ( IEEE C37 90 ) electrical substation EMI standards
• FIPS 140-2 – Cryptographic modules meet US Government NIST compliancy
• Universal High voltage: 88-300v DC or 85-265v AC – dual power models
• Dual Feed low voltage: 18 - 72v DC models
• Cisco RJ45 serial port pinout design enables connection to Cisco/Sun console ports using common serial “rolled” CAT5 cabling
• Encapsulate ModBus and DNP protocols over IP
• Modbus TCP to Modbus RTU/ASCII gateway
• High performance 400 Mhz, 750 MIPS, 32 bit processor with integrated hardware encryption processor for the best throughput on the market
• Next Generation IP support (IPv6 ) for investment protection and network compatibility
• TrueSerial™ packet technology – the most authentic serial connections across Ethernet ensures serial protocol integrity
• Primary/Backup host functionality enables automatic connections to alternate hosts should the primary TCP connection go down
• EasyPort Web – Access equipment serial console ports by using your java-enabled Internet browser
• TruePort – Perle’s com/tty redirector for serial based applications operates on Windows, Vista, Linux, Solaris, SCO and Unix
• Java-free browser access to remote serial console ports via Telnet and SSH
• Lifetime warranty – best investment protection available
