Perle IOLAN STS4P GR PoE Secure Device Server 232

Four-Port RS232-to-Ethernet Gateway

The Perle IOLAN STS4P GR is a PoE-powered device server that converts up to four serial RS232 ports to Ethernet. It targets engineers and project managers who need reliable serial-to-network connectivity for industrial equipment or IT infrastructure. TrueSerial technology preserves the original serial protocol across the network. The unit draws power from the Ethernet link, removing the need for a local AC supply.

Replaces Standalone Terminal Servers and AC Adapters

The device consolidates a multi-port terminal server and its power brick into a single compact enclosure that can be mounted in ceilings, walls or kiosks. The upgrade is worthwhile when deployment sites lack convenient mains outlets or when space constraints rule out larger rackmount units. IT teams gain out-of-band console access for remote gear without running extra power circuits. High-throughput processors keep latency low for time-sensitive serial applications.

Handles Four Concurrent RS232 Channels Over One

The server comfortably manages four simultaneous serial connections at full line rate, making it suitable for clusters of PLCs, meters or console ports. Headroom is defined by the single Ethernet uplink and the PoE power budget available at the switch port. Environments requiring more than four serial ports, non-RS232 interfaces or redundant power inputs will need additional units or a different form factor.
