By default NetModem Server does not check to see if there is a modem connected to one of the shared COM ports before passing that COM port to a client. In order to enable this behavior, click on “Properties” from the NetModem Server Configuration tab, and enable the checkbox named “Reset Modem when opening port”. Then click “Ok” followed by “Save Changes”. This will cause NetModem Server to send an “ATZ” initialization command to the next available modem in the pool, and it then waits for the modem to respond with an “OK” before passing that COM port to the client. If an “OK” response is not received within 1 second, it will try the next available shared COM port.
