Professional solutions
SCS
has developed a Professional version of the firmware which enables new modes for the
PTC. The “Professional Firmware” meets many special requirements for mobile and maritime
users and services. It also provides the high-speed
PACTOR-III
mode.
The following overview shows the Professional Firmware features:
x
PACTOR-III high speed data transfer protocol.
x
Hayes compatible command interpreter, Hayes-mode (phone modem compatibility).
x
PACTOR-IP-Bridge, direct “TCP/IP over PPP” via HF.
x
PACTOR-Free-Signal-Protocol, collisions-avoiding access system to HF data services.
x
More robust protocol for the PACTOR link establishment (“Robust-Connect”).
x
CCIR 491-Number-SelCalls (4- and 5 characters), as well as WRU-identifier and
Answerback for comfortable access to SITOR-coast-stations.
