Durable metal
enclosure wards off
EMI/RFI signals.
DTE rates to 115.2 kbps.
Operates via dialup
lines. Can also be
hardwired as a point-
to-point line driver for
links up to 20 miles
(32.2 km).
Modules available
for 2-wire RS-485 and
4-wire RS-422.
Y
ou need to put a modem in the
radio/electronic equivalent of
harm’s way: near an assembly
line, generator, compressor, or
other source of electromagnetic
or radio-frequency interference.
And you probably need it to
communicate with industrial
equipment—something most PC
modems can’t do. Why use a
cut-rate, run-of-the-mill external
modem, especially if you have
to use an expensive interface
converter with it?
The Industrial Modem 288
(MD3400A) is tailor-made for
the job, with specially insulated
circuitry and a tough metal
housing that’s predrilled to be
bolted down wherever you need it
to be. And with optional modules
attached to the DTE connector,
the modem can talk directly to
industrial devices that use 2-wire

Key Features
INDUSTRIAL MODEM 288
RS-485 or 4-wire RS-422 interfaces.
With the modem, you can
make connections with other
modems at up to 57.6 kbps. (If
your application is suited for data
compression, maximum through-
put might be twice as fast.)
With a glance at the modem’s
eight LEDs, you can get a good
idea of what it’s doing. And it
supports a full range of standard
AT commands, S-registers, loop-
back tests, and result codes—
so you can easily configure the
unit, troubleshoot your installa-
tion, and tell right away whether
a command or a call attempt has
succeeded or failed.
The Industrial Modem 288 has
many useful dial and connection
features. For example, you can set
it to dial a number as soon as you
turn it on; to store up to 10 numbers
in memory for speed-dialing; to
redial or try a different number if
there’s no answer or the line is
busy; or to communicate with
workhorse Bell-standard modems
or V.23 Videotex services.
Do you want to use a 2-wire
leased telephone line instead of
a regular dialup line? The modem
supports 2-wire leased lines and
can be configured to automatic-
ally establish leased-line
connections at power-up.
You can also order the
Industrial Modem 288 in a kit
with ProComm Plus
®
32

cross-platform Windows
®
95/98,

®
compatibility, so you have access

interface.
