Example: The configured remote IP address within the VMSE is 129.1.2.3 and the TCP port number is 1234 :

C121.2.4.5/1<ENTER>

complete override - connection is started with host 121.2.4.5, port 1.

C5< ENTER >

This means connect to 129.1.2.5, port 1234.

C28.10/12< ENTER >

This means connect to 129.1.28.10, port 12.

Datagram Mode

When selecting this option you will be prompted for Datagram type

Datagram type: 01

(Directed UDP)

Modem Emulation Mode

In modem emulation mode, the VMSE presents a modem interface to the attached serial device by accepting AT-style modem commands and “wiggles” the modem signals correctly. Normally there is a modem connected to a PC and a modem connected to some other remote machine. A user must dial from his/her PC to the remote machine and accumulate phone charges for each connection. With the VMSE in modem mode, you can replace your modems with VMSE and use an Ethernet connection instead of a phone call all without having to change communications applications and make potentially-expensive phone calls.

Modem mode is selected by setting the “connect mode” to 0x06 (no echo & acknowledgments) or 0x16 (with echo & acknowledgments.) In modem mode the following strings can be used:

ATDTx.x.x.x,pppp or ATDTx.x.x.x/pppp

This is used to make a connection to an IP address (x.x.x.x) and a remote port number (pppp.)

ATDTx.x.x.x

Without a port number, this will make a connection to the remote port number defined within the VMSE.

ATD

If no remote IP address and port number are defined within the VMSE, this command will force the VMSE into “monitor mode”.
