Cellular based communications systems and method of using same

摘要

An apparatus and method for transmitting serial digital data across wireless modems is disclosed. In one embodiment, data is collected by a remote monitoring device and transmitted to a first Cellular Digital Packet Data ("CDPD") modem via one or more RS232 interfaces. The applications program in the first CDPD modem transmits a signal to a second CDPD modem initiating communications. The applications program in the second CDPD modem returns a signal, indicating the status of the interface. Data transmission is initiated when the status of both interfaces is established.
