3012—Overview and specifications
Overview
The HF Data Modem 3012, when combined with the appropriate Codan HF transceiver
and computer terminal, provides error-free transmission and reception of data on an HF
channel. It is particularly useful for long-range communications in remote areas where
existing communication infrastructures are poor or non-existent.
The data modem operates at 12 V DC in fixed base and mobile installations. The data
modem receives DC power from the transceiver via its 15-way GPIO connector. It
incorporates data compression to boost effective throughput, and is easily integrated with
Codan voice and signalling networks.
A typical HF Data Modem 3012 station comprises:
•

The basic layout of a 3012 data system is shown in

The data modem may be controlled using standard AT commands from a terminal.
Virtually any software that operates on standard telephone modems will operate over HF
via the AT commands.
The data modem is able to send email over HF with other third-party email software.
Channel selection
HF channels may be manually selected using the transceiver or the data modem.
If a data call is sent while the Codan HF transceiver is scanning an ALE/CALM network,
the transceiver automatically selects a channel from the ALE/CALM network.
