What Is Modem Emulation?

Chapter 3

M o d e m E m u l a t i o n C o m m a n d s

This chapter describes the commands that can be issued when Digi

Connect products are configured in modem emulation mode.

What Is Modem Emulation?

Modem emulation enables a system administrator to configure a networked Digi device to act as a modem. The Digi device emulates modem responses to a serial device and seamlessly sends and receives data over an Ethernet network instead of a PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network). The advantage for a user is the ability to retain legacy software applications without modification and use a less expensive Ethernet network in place of public telephone lines.

As an aid in configuring modem emulation, the Digi Device Setup Wizard and the default web interface have a serial port profile for modem emulation.

Modem Emulation Cable Signals

Use the following signal assignments to make a cable connecting the Digi device to a serial device.

DSR and DTR on the serial device side are connected to the DSR signal of the Digi device.

Modes of Operation

There are two modes of operation in modem emulation:

Command mode: Issuing AT commands to a Digi device.

Data mode: After a network connection is established, the device switches to data mode.
