Figure 1: Telesto Private Wire Modem, General Function Theory of Operation The two main functions of the Telesto modem are to interface the data from the Europa digitiser to the leased-line telephony network and, optionally, to supply power to the E uropa digitiser. The functions are performed by a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) mounted inside the Telesto enclosure.

Because data flow can occur in both directions, i.e., to/from a remote site, the Telesto private wire modem is a full-duplex device. This allows seis mic data to be sent continuously to the central data acquisition site while also providing a return path for retransmission requests from the central site.
This configuration assumes that the telephone network is a 4-wire leased line system. Because the Telesto Modem at the remote site is paired with a corresponding unit at the central site, it is important to configure the remote site Telesto Modem in ANSWER mode (the central site modem, in this case, is in ORIGINATE mode).

Firmware configuration allows the user to tailor such configurable parameters as data port rate, flow control, error correction, etc. In this application, as a point-to-point private wire modem, the following settings are required. The Telesto Private Wire Modem is shipped with this configuration.

Technical Description Connect the comms port of the Telesto Private Wire Modem to the serial COM port of a PC or laptop computer. Start a terminal emulator, e.g., ZOC, on the computer and configure it to the correct COM port.
5. Servicing Basic troubleshooting The Telesto Private Wire Modem is always used as part of a network containing Europa digitisers. Therefore troubleshooting the Telesto usually involves setting up some combination of (digitiser,Telesto Modem,central site) equipment under laboratory conditions. In this manner the commas port of the Telesto Modem can be checked for data continuity which is sufficient proof that the Telesto Modem is operational.

The Telesto Private Wire Modem is an interfacing unit between an RS232 line and an analog private wire line (dedicated telephone line). At one end it connects to the serial data port (port 2) of the Callisto Europa digitiser and at the other end to a 2 or 4 wire analog telephone line. The Telesto is powered from a 24 Vdc power source and provides 12 Vdc to the Callisto Europa digitiser.
