Hi

if you are trying to talk to a device over the internet then you should have a IP port number for the data seen on the serial interface to be sent to the other device.

within the wr21 you can use the multitx function found under Configuration - Network > Interfaces > Serial > MultiTX Serial Ports > MultiTX Serial Port 0

here you can assign the serial interface which in your case would be 0 and the internet IP and port of the other server.

if you need something else then this document might be helpful

Hi,

I also have another question:

What is the number to use with the ATD command for the modem to connect with the ISP? The ISP being Verizon or AT&T.

Thank you,
