Cleo® AllSyncTM

Your All-in-One Modem Solution 

AllSync provides the capabilities of multiple modem types - synchronous and asynchronous - on one plug-in board, through one dial-up phone line. You select and pay for only the modem types you need. Choose speeds too - up to 14.4Kbps. 

Flexible Multi-host Communications

A single AllSync installation lets you communicate with multiple computers, each through a different modem type, and each at a different speed. You quickly and easily switch between modems with a few simple commands.
 
AllSync Highlights
  • Multiple modem types
  • Synchronous and asynchronous
  • All on one board
  • All through one phone line
  • Remotely upgradeable
  • MNP 1-5
  • Line speeds up to 14.4Kbps
  • AT Command Set
  • Onboard coprocessor
  • Comprehensive diagnostics
 

Through its COM port - configurable as COM 1, 2, 3, or 4 - AllSync supports all leading asynchronous communications software. In synchronous mode, you can use AllSync's onboard coprocessor to run our popular Cleo 3780Plus package for IBM 2780/3780 RJE emulation in bisynchronous networks.

Clean, Efficient, Economical

AllSync cleans up the modem mess on your crowded desktops. It eliminates external modem boxes and expensive extra phone lines. Plus, with multiple modems on one board, you don't have to buy new modems whenever your communications needs change. 

It's Easy to Upgrade

AllSync helps you keep up with your changing communications requirements. If, after installing your AllSync configuration, you find that your applications demand additional modem types, we can remotely dial into your installation and quickly provide the added capabilities. There's no need to switch boards or add boxes. 

Use AllSync as...

  • An Asynchronous Modem
    You can use AllSync's COM port to send AT commands for dialing the modem or configuring its parameters. Data is then sent and received through the COM port. AllSync supports your favorite asynchronous communications software. It also provides MNP 1-5 error-correction and data-compression capabilities. 
  • A Synchronous Modem
    As in asynchronous mode, you can use AllSync's COM port to send AT commands for dialing the modem or configuring its parameters. The difference is that data is then sent and received through AllSync's synchronous port.

AT Command Set

AllSync supports AT Command Set capabilities for all modem types through the onboard COM port. AT Command Set features include:

  • Audio speaker, which may be enabled or disabled
  • Auto-dial (tone and pulse) and call progress (including dialtone, ringback signal, and busy-signal detection)
  • Auto-answer and auto-disconnect
  • Modem type and data rate configuration changes
  • Default profiles for easy configuration of different modem types
  • User-storable configuration profile
  • MNP 1-5
  • V.32bis-V.22 rate negotiation and interworking
  • Synchronous or asynchronous operation 

Diagnostics

AllSync's diagnostic capabilities help you quickly isolate and correct communication problems.
AllSync performs comprehensive power-up diagnostic checks to test the modulator/demodulator, communications chips, onboard processor, and internal and dual-port RAM.

All major components are tested each time you turn on your computer. A warning signal sounds if any component is not up to standard. AllSync provides a full complement of remote and local diagnostic capabilities. It supports the CCITT V.54 standard for modem diagnostics, including:

  • Local analog loopback
  • Local digital loopback
  • Remote digital loopback 

Input/Output

  • Asynchronous Port:
    AllSync's asynchronous communications chip (16550) is an enhanced 8250 UART (COM port) that allows you to run standard asynchronous communications software through any available modem or the optional RS-232 connector. The AllSync COM port can be configured as COM 1, 2, 3, or 4. The interrupt can be independently selected as IRQ 2, 3, 4, or 5, or interrupts disabled. 
  • Synchronous Port:
    AllSync's industry-standard synchronous port (8530 SCC USART) allows you to run synchronous bit- and byte-oriented protocols through any available synchronous modem or the optional RS-232 connector. The port can be configured at addresses 0x250, 0x260, 0x1250, and 0x1260. The interrupt is selected from IRQs 2-7, 10-12, 14, or 15, or interrupts disabled.
  • RS-232 Port:
    AllSync is available with an optional RS-232 connector. You can use the RS-232 port as an additional COM port on your computer. Alternatively, you can route AllSync's 8530 SCC USART to the RS-232 port, which can then be used for synchronous communications. You can select external or internal clocking for the port. 

Physical Connectors 

  • Modular phone jacks:
  • one RJ-45 for dial-up connections;
  • one RJ-11 for handset dialing
  • Optional RS-232C (male DB 25) port, configured as DTE (requires one back-plate connection).
