Local Configuration profile
The Local Configuration profile allows for connecting standard terminals or terminal emulation programs to the
serial port in order to use the serial port as a console to access the command line interface. Profile settings enable
and disable access to the command line.
Modem Emulation profile
The Modem Emulation profile allows a Digi device to sends and receive modem responses to the serial device over
the Ethernet instead of PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network). This profile allows maintaining the current
software application but using it over a less-expensive Ethernet network. The commands that you can issue in a
modem-emulation configuration are described in the Digi Connect Family Command Reference.
Industrial Automation profile
This port profile is available in Digi devices that support Industrial Automation (IA) and the Modbus protocol. It has
serial port settings appropriate for the Digi Connect WAN IA's use in IA applications. It allows you to control and
monitor various IA devices and PLCs. Serial ports for Digi Connect WAN IA devices are set to use this port profile by
default. The default settings for the Digi Connect WAN IA and in this port profile should be sufficient for most IA
applications. If you need to change the settings from the defaults, use the "set ia" command, documented in the Digi
Connect Family Command Reference.
Dialserv Profile
The DialServ Profile allows connecting a Digi DialServ™ device to the serial port. Digi DialServ is an RJ-11 phone line
simulator that allows legacy devices with built-in modems to communicate across LANs/WANs. This profile
configures the Digi device to connect/tunnel serial data to an external host when the DialServ receives an incoming
call, causes the DialServ to make outgoing calls, and tunnels TCP data from the incoming connection over the
Dialserv when TCP traffic is received on the configured ports on the Digi device.
Important: Use of this profile is required for DialServ interoperation.
Custom Profile
The Custom port profile displays all serial-port settings that you can adjust as needed. Use the Custom profile only if
the use of the serial port does not fit into any of the predefined port profiles, for example, if network connections
involve a mix of TCP and UDP sockets.
