Introduction
IOLAN+ is a very versatile product and can handle a lot of creative applications. This section
deals with setting up printers and data acquisition type equipment, including retail point-of-
sale equipment. Many types of RS-232 equipment can be attached including:
Retail point-of-sale (POS) equipment
Maintenance ports on network equipment (for monitoring)
Making terminals with ‘fixed ttys’
Manufacturing equipment
IOLAN+ accomplishes this by using a reverse telnet connection. On Unix you utilise the
ioland software supplied on the Perle CD. For Windows ® , consult the support section of the
web sites for the latest support software for dial-out applications.
