This allows serial devices connected to two ES1A converters to communicate
across the network. The two ES1A converters automatically connect to each
other.
Modem Emulation
Select

to configure the serial port to operate as if it is a
modem. For legacy applications where a serial device is set up to

ES1A and communication occurs over the network. The ES1A emulates
modem responses to and from the serial device.
