3-MODCOM Modem Communicator module
Features
The 3-MODCOM Modem Communicator is a local rail module
that supports telephone line communication. It combines the
functions of a dialer and modem in a single module.
The module has two eight-position modular jacks for connecting
to telephone lines. It includes two red LEDs (DS1 and DS2) to
annunciate line ringing and data exchange. The module accepts a
control / display layer and has provision for a future expansion
module.
A nonvolatile, flash memory chip stores customization data that
includes account information, user identifiers, telephone
numbers, and other dialing details.
The 3-MODCOMP is identical to the 3-MODCOM, but supports
remote paging using the Telocator Alphanumeric Protocol
(TAP). The 3-MODCOMP remote paging feature is
supplemental and is not supervised.
Both versions of the module are equipped with a modem that is
Bell 103 and V.32bis compliant. The modem includes support
for these protocols:
• Contact ID
• SIA DCS
• SIA P2 (3/1 pulse format)
• SIA P3 (4/2 pulse format)
• TAP (3-MODCOMP only)
Several 3-MODCOMs (up to ten) can be installed in a network
for increased reliability. These can be configured to provide
dynamic failover operation.
You can program the 3-MODCOM in any of the following
configurations:
• One-line dialer
• Two-line dialer
• Modem
• Modem and one-line dialer
• Modem and two-line dialer
The dialer circuit is compatible with pulse dialing or touch-tone
(DTMF) dialing. The module can be configured to detect and
answer any of these ring types:
• Any ring
• Normal ring
• Distinct ring 2 (type II)
• Distinct ring 3 (type III)
