Additional Features
Modem Emulation:
In modem emulation mode, the NetDirect can replace dial-up modems. The
unit accepts modem AT commands on the serial port and then establishes a network connection
to the end device. This arrangement leverages network connections and bandwidth to eliminate
dedicated modems and phone lines.
Built-in Web Server:
The NetDirect includes a built-in web server for configuring the unit and
displaying operating and troubleshooting information on the attached links to online support.
Security Features:
Password Protection and 256-bit AES Encryption
Configuration Methods
After installation, the NetDirect requires configuration. For the unit to operate correctly on a
network, it must have a unique IP address on the network. There are three basic methods for
logging into the NetDirect and assigning IP addresses and other configurable settings:
Web Manager
: View and configure all settings easily through a web browser using the Web
Manager. See
Configuration Using Web Manager
DeviceInstaller
: Configure the IP address and related settings and view current settings on
the NetDirect using a Graphical User Interface (GUI) on a PC attached to a network. You will
need the latest version of DeviceInstaller. See
Serial and Telnet Ports:
Use Setup Mode, a command line interface. There are two
approaches to accessing Setup Mode: making a Telnet connection to the network port (9999)
or connecting a terminal (or a PC running a terminal emulation program) to the unit's serial
port. See
