Serial Server/Client-to-Ethernet Configuration Using Modems
Using a serial server or serial client with a modem configuration allows you to incorporate
an existing modem configuration into a network. Additionally, if you are using a serial
server/client-to-Ethernet configuration and have a remote site(s) that communicates with
the parent institution via modem, a serial server/client connected to the receiving modem
allows you to transmit data from the remote site to the institution’s network. The serial
server/client must be configured prior to use. Refer to the appropriate document for
configuration information.
