9.3.1 Using a Profile
Preconfigured profiles are available for a number of modem types. Each profile contains all settings
necessary to appropriately configure that type of modem. To display the list of available profiles, use the
Show Modem command. If your modem is listed, copy it to the port using the Define Ports Modem Type
command.
Figure 9-1: Associating Modem Profile With a Port
All configurations in the modem profile will be applied to the specified port. The above command enables
modem control for that port, changes the port’s flow control to RTS/CTS, disables Autobaud if it’s currently
enabled, and changes the port’s serial rate to the highest rate the modem can support.
If your modem isn’t in the list of profiles, use a modem profile for a modem that is similar to your modem
type (for example, a modem from the same manufacturer). If there isn’t a similar modem listed, use the
Generic profile.
Note: Be sure to verify the provisions mentioned in Modem Security on page 9-11.
New modem profiles will be added to the lists as they become available from users and our engineering
staff. If your modem isn’t included in the list of profiles, contact Lantronix to see if it will be added in a later
version of the software.
Note: If you configure a modem profile that is not available on the list, please email it
to [e-mail].
To view the modem profile, or verify that changes have been successfully made to the profile, use the List
Port Modem command.

9.3.2 Editing a Profile
If a profile isn’t available for your modem, editing a profile for a similar modem (e.g. one from the same
manufacturer) is recommended. However, if a similar modem profile isn’t available, you can edit a
preconfigured “generic” modem profile. This is explained in detail in Profile Settings on page 9-5.
Note: Very few modems can use all commands in the generic modem profile. The
generic profile is only meant as a starting point.
Profiles can also be edited to "fine-tune" your modem’s performance. For example, dialing performance can
be increased by adjusting the DMTF (touch tone) duration and spacing. To edit a modem profile, complete
the following steps.
