c) Datagram Type
Directed UDP When selecting this option, the prompt requests the Datagram type.
Enter 01 for directed or broadcast UDP.
When the UDP option is in effect, the unit uses UDP datagrams to
send and receive data.
d) Modem Mode
In Modem (Emulation) Mode, the unit presents a modem interface to the attached
serial device. It accepts AT-style modem commands, and handles the modem signals
correctly.
Normally, there is a modem connected to a local PC and a modem connected to a
remote machine. A user must dial from the local PC to the remote machine,
accumulating phone charges for each connection. Modem Mode allows you to
replace modems with WiPorts, and to use an Ethernet connection instead of a phone
call. By not having to change communications applications, you avoid potentially
expensive phone calls.
To select Modem Mode, set the Connect Mode to C6 (no echo), D6 (echo with full
verbose), or D7 (echo with 1-character response).
Note: If the unit is in Modem Mode, and the serial port is idle, the unit can
still accept network TCP connections to the serial port if Connect Mode is set
to C6 (no echo), D6 (echo with full verbose), or D7 (echo with 1-character
response).
Without Echo In Modem Mode, echo refers to the echo of all of the characters
entered in command mode; it does not mean to echo data that is
transferred. Quiet Mode (without echo) refers to the modem not
sending an answer to the commands received (or displaying what
was typed).
