2.1.7 Control Mode
In controlling mode, the EKI serial device server presents a modem interface to the
attached serial device: it accepts AT-style modem commands to connect / disconnect
to other networking device. If you want serial device running application program to
connect/disconnect to different devices by request, you can use controlling mode.
The controlling mode provides three modem AT-style commands. The serial devices
can use these commands to control EKI serial device server connecting or discon-
necting to remote networking device. Thus, intelligent serial devices such as stand-
alone PLC will send /receive data to/from devices one by one via Ethernet.
