Serial Port Profiles

General Tab Field Descriptions

Configure the following parameters:

Connect

When enabled, automatically establishes the virtual modem connection when

Automatically At the serial port becomes active.

Startup

Default: Enabled

Host Name

The preconfigured target host name.

TCP Port

The port number the target host is listening on for messages.

 

Default: 0 (zero)

Connect Manually Via AT Command

Phone Number to Host Mapping Button

When enabled, the virtual modem requires an AT command before it establishes a connection. Specify this option when your modem application sends a phone number or other AT command to a modem. The serial device can supply an IP address directly or it can provide a phone number that will be translated into an IP address by the IOLAN using the mapping table.

Default: Disabled

When your modem application provides a phone number in an AT command string, you can map that phone number to the destination host.

See Phone Number to Host Mapping on page 102 for information about the window that appears when you click this button.

Send Connection When enabled, the connection success/failure indication strings are sent to the

Status As connected device, otherwise these indications are suppressed. This option also determines the format of the connection status results that are generated by the virtual modem.

Default: Enabled

Verbose String When enabled, the connection status is sent by text strings to the connected device.

Default: Disabled

Success String String that is sent to the serial device when a connection succeeds. Default: CONNECT <speed>, for example, CONNECT 9600

Failure String String that is sent to the serial device when a connection fails. Default: NO CARRIER
