Common User Scenarios for Modem Emulation

The Digi device in modem emulation mode allows for the easy replacement of modems in almost any environment where there is a LAN or WAN.

In Diagram A, the Digi Connect device replaces a modem connected to a workstation running an application. The Digi Connect device allows for the use of software applications without modification by responding to all the AT commands configured in the workstation application. The Digi Connect device connects to the IP Address of the server when an

ATDT ipaddress:port (ATDT 192.168.25.5:50001) command is issued. Once the remote device establishes the TCP connection, a CONNECT message is sent to the serial port and only then does the Digi device switch from AT command mode to data mode. Using the modem escape sequence or dropping DTR on either side terminates the connection. A DISCONNECT message will be sent to the application if the remote side closes the TCP connection.
