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 can be issued 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.
