Serial Port Profiles
Virtual Modem Profile
Overview
Virtual Modem
 (Vmodem) is a feature of the IOLAN that provides a modem interface to a serial 
device. It will respond to AT commands and provide signals in the same way that a serially attached 
modem would. This feature is typically used when you are replacing dial-up modems with the 
IOLAN in order to provide Ethernet network connectivity.
Functionality
The serial port will behave in exactly the same fashion as it would if it were connected to a modem. 
Using AT commands, it can configure the modem and the issue a dial-out request (ATTD). The 
IOLAN will then translate the dial request into a TCP connection and data will be begin to flow in 
both directions. The connection can be terminated by “hanging” up the phone line.
You can also manually start a connection by typing 
ATD<ip_address>,<port_number>
 and end 
the connection by typing 
+++ATH
. The 
ip_address
 can be in IPv4 or IPv6 formats and is the IP 
address of the receiver. For example, 
ATD123.34.23.43,10001
 or you can use 
ATD12303402304310001
, without any punctuation (although you do need to add zeros where there 
are not three digits presents, so that the IP address is 12 digits long).
