Overview
The COM220 phone modem enables communications between a computer and a Campbell Scientific data logger over a public switched telephone network. A Hayes-compatible modem is required at the computer site. The COM220 connects to the data logger at the field site. Most Campbell Scientific data loggers are compatible.
Key Advantages
Low power use, wide operating temperature range
Technical Description
The COM220 has a CS I/O port, power terminals, screw terminals, and an RJ-11C jack. The data logger connects with the CS I/O port via an SC12 or SC12R-6 cable. The RJ-11C jack is for attaching a surge-protected telephone line. Alternatively, the screw terminals (GND, RING, TIP) can be used to connect the COM220 with a phone line via a surge protector.
Benefits
- Wide operating temperature range and low power requirements make it ideal for use at remote sites
- Supports communication rates up to 115.2 kbps between modem and logger. (In practice, data transmission through phone lines is generally constrained to 33.6 kbps.)
- Compatible with most Campbell Scientific data loggers
- Offers both modem enabled (ME) and synchronous device communications (SDC) modes.
- Allows user to set the number of rings before answering call.
