5. For Retrytimeout, enter the number of milliseconds the unit should wait before failing an
attempted connection. The time is stored as units of milliseconds in the range of 10-
65535. The default is 250.
d) Datagram Type
Directed UDP
When selecting this option, you are prompted for the Datagram type. Enter
01 for directed or broadcast UDP. Datagrams of type 01 can be sent as a
broadcast by enabling the Send as Broadcast option. The default is not
to broadcast.
When the UDP option is in effect, the unit never attempts to initiate a TCP
connection because it uses UDP datagrams to send and receive data.
e) 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 XPort
modules, 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),
D7 (echo with numeric response), CF (modem responses only, numeric response), or CE
(modem responses only, full verbose).
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), D7 (echo with numeric response, CF (modem responses only, numeric response),
or CE (modem responses only, full verbose).
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).
