Modem Emulation port profile
The Modem Emulation port profile allows you to configure the serial port 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.
For more details about modem emulation and descriptions of the commands that can be issued, see Modem Emulation Commands in the Digi One and PortServer TS Family Command Reference.
