the remote host, which has connected Pro Series recently. Recent unlisted remote host is a remote
host, which has accessed a corresponding serial port of Pro Series but is not configured on remote
host configuration. Surely, Pro Series also send data to the hosts, which are configured on remote
host configuration. If Send unlisted function is set as ‘No’, Pro Series sends data only to the host(s)
which are configured on remote host configuration. Pro Series maintains a recent unlisted remote host
during the Inactivity Timeout.
4.2.3.3. Modem Emulation Mode
1) Operations
In modem emulation mode, the serial port process acts as if it is a modem attached to the serial
device. It accepts AT modem commands and answers to them, as modems would do. It also handles
the modem signals correctly. Modem emulation mode is useful in the following cases.
 There already exists a modem attached to the users’ serial device.
If users’ serial device already has a modem for phone-line connection, it can be just replaced by the
Pro Series for Ethernet connection. What users need to do is to use an IP address (or domain name)
and port number instead of phone number as a parameter of ATA/ATDT commands.
 It is required to send serial data to the multiple remote hosts.
If the serial device should send data to the multiple hosts, modem emulation mode is required. For
example, the first data from the serial device can be sent to the first data acquisition server and the
second to the second server. What user device has to do is to change the IP address (or domain
name) and port number parameters whenever the device sends ATD(T) XXX command.
By using the modem emulation mode of the Pro Series, users can have their serial device connected
to the Ethernet network easily, which is cheaper than using phone line modem. Table 4-2 is a
summarized AT command table which is supported by the Pro Series. Figure 4-7 shows the typical
case of the serial port command flow when ATDA command is used to connect to the Ethernet network.

If Echo mode is enabled, the command will be sent back first. And then, corresponding response will be sent. If disabled, only
response will be sent.
