Call a thelephone number through serial interface

[lucia]

My system consists of two satellite thelephone.
One of them is connected, by serial line (RS-232),to a PC.
Is it possible, using LabVIEW, to make a call from the PC to the not connected thelephone through the telephone which is connected to the PC?
I don't know the commands to build an instrument driver for the satellite thelephone: does a VI exist in LabVIEW to aviod theese difficulties?
Thanks a lot,
Lucia Agnoletto

Hi,

Unfortunately you have to know the commands to use this or any other device. The serial port is just the communication channel, which allows you to send and receive data/commands.

Without the command set you will not be able to use this device.

The only other option is if the telephone uses AT commands. These are commands used by modems that were connected to the serial port. I'm not too familiar with the AT commands, but in sure you should be able to find more information on the web.
