1. Introduction The DCSCOM modem is fully Hayes compatible and can be used at 1200 baud to both receive calls and initiate calls from the datalogger (using instruction 97). For more information on datalogger programming refer to the description of Instruction 97 in the datalogger manual.
If you intend to use the modem on a remote telephone line, we recommend that you install lightning arrestors on the telephone line; note that the warranty on the DCSCOM does not cover lightning damage. Please contact British Telecom or Campbell Scientific for further details.
User Guide The ringer equivalence number (REN) of the DCSCOM is 3. For NOTE correct operation you should ensure that the sum of the RENs for all equipment connected to one telephone line does not exceed 4. You can usually assume that British Telecom equipment has a REN of 1 unless otherwise marked.
This manual does not attempt to provide complete instruction on the ‘AT’ command set. However, for convenience, the commands are summarised below. For most applications with a Campbell Scientific datalogger and IBM PC compatible computer, the modem commands are issued automatically by Campbell Scientific software. These commands apply only when the modem is used as an originate modem, which is not the primary use of this modem.
