COM300 Voice Communication Modem

2.1.1Specifications

•Bell 212A, CCITT V.22, and V.32BIS compatible

•Full duplex at 9600 and 1200 baud to datalogger

•V.42 LAPM and MNP2-4 error correction

•Hayes AT command set

•RJ-11C telephone jack

•FCC and IC (formally known as DOC) approval

•Pulse or tone dialing

•Current drain: 100 ∝A quiescent, 180 mA active

For theory of operation for the COM300 modem, refer to Appendix B of this manual.

2.2 Voice Capable Datalogger

The following Campbell Scientific array based dataloggers are capable of voice communication: the CR10, CR10X, CR500, CR510, and CR23X. The CR10 will require a special UVEPROM to enable voice communication. If this special prom was not installed at the factory, please contact Campbell Scientific or your Campbell Scientific representative. Appendix C provides information on installing this UVEPROM.

2.3 Telephone

Typically a touch-tone phone is used to call the COM300 modem. A rotary phone can be used if the programmed verbal announcements do not require the user to navigate through the modem's menu system.

2.4 LoggerTalk Voice Communication Programming Software

Datalogger program files created using Campbell Scientific's Edlog program editor must be modified to include voice communication announcements. This modification is accomplished using LoggerTalk software, which is shipped with all COM300 modems. LoggerTalk requires a computer running Windows 95/NT/98.
