FAQs Frequently Asked Questions About our Products and Solutions

How generic is the COM210 modem? I would like to remotely communicate with an entirely different scientific device (not a Campbell Scientific product). The normal way of interfacing with this product is via a direct RS-232C cable connection from the device to the serial COM port of a computer running application-specific Windows software.

The COM210 phone modem is not generic. The COM210 and all related telephone modems supplied by Campbell Scientific are designed to communicate with Campbell Scientific data loggers through the CS I/O port. The CS I/O port is not an RS-232 port. While one could make the COM210 phone modem work with a non-Campbell Scientific product, the time and effort required will be significant. This is not recommended.
