    2: Introduction Additional Features Modem Emulation In modem emulation mode, the EDS1100/2100 can replace dial-up modems. The unit accepts modem AT commands on the serial port, and then establishes a network connection to the end device, leveraging network connections and bandwidth to eliminate dedicated modems and phone lines.

  • Page 19: Terminal Server/Device Management

    Moreover, the EDS1100/2100 cannot be used to bring down other devices on the network. You can use the EDS1100/2100 with the Lantronix Secure Com Port Redirector (SCPR) to encrypt COM port-based communications between PCs and virtually any electronic device. SCPR is a Windows application that creates a secure communications path over a network between the computer and serial-based devices that are traditionally controlled via a COM port.

    The hardware address is also referred to as the Ethernet address or MAC address. The first three bytes of the Ethernet address are fixed and read as either 00-20-4A or 08-04-13, identifying the unit as a Lantronix product. The fourth, fifth, and sixth bytes are unique numbers assigned to each unit.
