Modem Emulation Mode
5-9
When you enable a dedicated connection, the MSS disables local mode hotkeys for session
manipulation.
5.4.2 Adding Hosts
The host list can include up to 12 host entries in any combination of TCP (raw, Telnet, and
Rlogin) and UDP addresses.
Figure 5-8: Adding Entries to the Host Table
In the example, the UDP host entry is actually a broadcast IP address. Data is sent to all
hosts on that particular subnet.
5.4.3 Removing Hosts
To remove an entry from the host table, use the Show Hostlist command to find out its
entry number, then use the Host Delete command to delete it.

5.5 Modem Emulation Mode
In modem emulation mode, the MSS presents a modem interface to the attached serial
device: it accepts AT-style modem commands and handles the modem signals correctly.
Instead of making phone calls, this mode provides network connections to remote
machines.
Normally there is a modem connected to a PC and a modem connected to some other
remote machine. A user must dial from his PC to the remote machine and accumulate
phone charges for each connection. With the MSS in modem mode, you can replace your
modems with MSS units and use an Ethernet connection instead of a phone call, all without
having to change communications applications. You can then connect to any remote
machine that has an MSS without making potentially-expensive phone calls.
