Management

You can create custom applications for the IOLAN by using the Perle SDK. See the SDK 
Programmer’s Guide (the SDK and guide are accessible via a request form located on the Perle 
website at 

) for information about the 

functions that are supported. You must download the program and any ancillary files to the IOLAN 
and set the 

 to 

 to run a custom application. You must also 

specify the program executable in the 

 parameter.

A custom application or plugin can be run on the serial port. In this situation, the application will start 
once the serial port is activated and operate solely on the context of that serial port and any network 
communications related to that serial port. You could run a different custom application on each serial 
port. The serial port custom application or plugin is configured by specifying the 

 profile for the serial port.

The system level custom application or plugin will begin execution immediately following the system 
startup. It runs on the context of the whole system and can access network communications as well as 
any or all serial ports.

Configure the following parameter:

Review the configuration options in the Advanced page to determine if any of them apply to your 
implementation.

Sets the relative date and time in which the IOLAN’s clock will change to 

summer time (daylight saving time) hours. Sunday is considered the first day of 
the week.

Recurring End Date Sets the relative date and time in which the IOLAN’s clock will end summer 

time hours and change to standard time. Sunday is considered the first day of 

the week.

The name of the application that has been already been downloaded to the 

IOLAN, plus any parameters you want to pass to the program. For example, 
using sample 

 program (this is sample program supplied with the 

SDK), you would type: 

 

if you were starting the application on the Server (notice the 

 parameter 

specifies serial port 1 to this particular application).
