3.3.2 Short-Haul Modem
Short-haul modems enable communication between a datalogger and computer
over two twisted pairs of wires. The maximum distance between modems is
determined by baud rate and wire gauge. At 9600 baud, the approximate range
is 4.0 miles. DCE / DTE switches on the modems are set to DCE.
