44 Chapter 7  Special Features: Modem Emulation 
connects to the IP Address of the server when an 
ATDT ipaddress:port (ATDT 192.168.25.5:50001) 
command is issued. Once the remote device establishes the TCP 
connection, a CONNECT message is sent to the serial port and only then 
does the Digi device switch from AT command mode to data mode. Using 
the modem escape sequence or dropping DTR on either side terminates 
the connection. A DISCONNECT message will be sent to the application if 
the remote side closes the TCP connection. 
In Diagram B, two Digi devices will replace modems on both sides of the 
connection. The initiation of the connection occurs with either of the Digi 
devices. If both ends are Digi devices, the TCP listening port number is 
50001 for port 1. An example of the connection command is ATDT 
192.168.25.30:50001. Upon establishing a successful TCP 
connection, a CONNECT message is sent to the serial port and only then 
does the Digi device server switch from AT command mode to data mode. 
After the CONNECT is received, the transmission of data begins. Using 
the modem escape sequence or dropping DTR on either side terminates 
the connection.
Modem emulation has the ability to communicate to an infinite number of 
other devices.
