Introduction

Other Communications Modes

ES1A Converters also feature the following communications profiles:

Modem Emulation Mode allows you to configure the serial port to operate as if it is a modem. For legacy applications where a serial device is set up to communicate through a modem, the serial device can now be connected to the ES1A and communication occurs over the network. The ES1A emulates modem responses to and from the serial device.

In Console Management Mode the ES1A can be configured for connection to the management port typically found on network devices such as routers, switches and servers. This allows remote management of the network device. Communication can be accomplished using telnet to a specific port in the converter.

Custom Mode allows you to custom configure the ES1A serial port and is used if your application does not fit into any other predefined modes.
