Preface

The Syncro 1496 is approved for use in the following countries:

Belgium Luxembourg

Denmark Norway

Finland Portugal

France Spain

Germany Sweden

Holland Switzerland

Ireland United Kingdom

Italy

It is essential that users make themselves familiar with the Appendix

entitled Country-Specific Information, as the appropriate modem for each

country has its own unique setup and connection requirements.

The Syncro 1496 is available in two versions:

Syncro 1496 Standalone modem.

Syncro 1496R Rackmount modem for use in the Network 16 Rack

System.

This manual provides full information for installing, configuring and

using the Syncro 1496 and 1496R (V.32bis) modems.

PART 1 of the manual has been laid out in a sequence that will allow you

rapidly to become familiar with the essential features of the modem and to

get it operational for straightforward use on the PSTN.

PART 2 takes you step-by-step through the many features of the modem

that allow it to carry out complex tasks in a variety of environments.

Throughout this manual the Syncro 1496 and 1496R are described as 'the

modem' where features are common to both. Where necessary they are

differentiated by 'standalone' or 'rackmount' respectively.

The Network 16 Rack System which houses the rackmount version is

referred to as 'the rack system', and the Network 16 Controller Card is

referred to as 'the controller card'. Both these items are described in

separate manuals.

1 Introduction

1.1 The Syncro 1496 Modem

The Syncro 1496 is a multi-standard autodial modem capable of passing

synchronous data at up to 14400 bps over leased (private wire) lines, and

PSTN (dial-up) lines.

The modem complies with the following ITU-T Recommendations:

V.33 14400 or 12000 bps synchronous operation.

V.32 9600 or 4800 bps synchronous operation.

V.32bis 14400, 12000 or 7200 bps synchronous operation.

V.29 9600, 7200 or 4800 bps synchronous operation.

V.22 1200 bps synchronous operation.

V.22bis 2400 bps synchronous operation.

The other principal features of the modem are:

• Synchronous full- or half-duplex operation over 2-wire leased line or

PSTN.

• Synchronous full-duplex operation over 4-wire leased line.

• Trellis coded modulation for enhanced performance.

• Near and remote end echo cancellation in V.32 and V.32bis modes.

• Automatic dialling using AT or V.25bis commands.

• An electronic storage system for telephone numbers. Numbers are

stored, and subsequently retrieved, by using the numbered buttons on

the front panel, or by AT commands.

• Automatic answering to V.25 of incoming calls. Disconnection of calls is

always completed 'cleanly' so that the modem is ready for the next call.

• Storage of up to 16 pre-set configurations.

• Comprehensive modem configuration using AT commands, which can

be from a Syncro 1496 or Syncro 1496R modem at a remote site, with

security controls to prevent unauthorised use of this facility.

X450-310851 Issue 2 1-3 Rev.1

• A port conforming to ITU-T V.24/V.28 (EIA RS-232-C) standards for

connecting the DTE.

• A separate command port for connection to a terminal or PC, so that

commands may be entered or calls monitored while the modem is in use.

• Comprehensive test functions to V.54, initiated by AT command or by

front panel switches.

• Modem Management. The modem may be controlled by the Network 16

Controller Card or Network 6, and managed as part of a network using a

high-level network management system.

1.2.1 The Indicators

The indicators are on the front panel of the modem, which is shown in

Figure 1-1.

RUN A continuous light means that power is on and the modem is

functioning correctly. A flashing red light indicates that a

test is being performed.

TXD Transmit Data. A flashing light indicates that data is being

transferred from the local DTE.

RXD Receive Data. A flashing light indicates that the modem is

sending data to the local DTE.

RTS Request To Send. A continuous light indicates that the local

DTE is ready to send data. In full-duplex mode this is

normally lit at all times, but in half-duplex mode, only when

data is ready to be transmitted.

CTS Clear To Send. A continuous light indicates that the modem

is ready to transmit data to a remote modem. In full-duplex

mode this is normally lit at all times, but in half-duplex

mode, lights shortly after the RTS indicator.

DCD Data Carrier Detect. Lit to indicate recognition of a carrier

signal from the remote modem. In full-duplex mode this is

normally lit at all times, but in half-duplex mode, only when

the remote modem has control for transmitting.

DSR Data Set Ready. Lit to indicate that the modem has control

of the line and is in data transmit mode. During a self-test

with signal injection, indicates errors.

X450-310851 Issue 2 1-5 Rev.0

DTR Data Terminal Ready. Lit to indicate that the local DTE is

ready to begin communications.

OH Off Hook. Lit when the modem has connected to the

telephone line.

1.2.2 The Controls

The controls are on the front of the modem, which is shown in Figure 1-1.

The names above the line are for on-line operation of the modem. The

names below the line are for configuration loading, or dialling on the

PSTN. The left-hand button is a non-latching switch. The other five have

a latching action.

a

DATA Use as DATA to go into data mode when manually

ENTER connecting a call, and press again to revert to

command mode.

Use as ENTER to load a configuration or dial a telephone

number.

DB Use as DB to initiate a dial backup call using a stored

4telephone number.

Use as 4 in conjunction with the DIAL, 2and 1buttons to

select a configuration or telephone number.

TEST Use as TEST to activate a test sequence for local

2or remote tests with your modem.

Use as 2in conjunction with the DIAL, 4and 1buttons to

select a configuration or telephone number.

AL Use as AL to select an analogue loopback.

1Use as 1in conjunction with the DIAL, 4and 2buttons to

select a configuration or telephone number.

RDL Use as RDL to select a remote digital loopback.

LOAD Use as LOAD to select a load configuration option.

FB Use as FB to revert to the selected fallback speed.

DIAL Use as DIAL to select a stored telephone number to dial.

It is also used in conjunction with the 4, 2and 1buttons to

load a factory or user configuration.

More-detailed descriptions of the uses of the buttons are given in the

descriptions of the functions for which they are needed.

1.2.3 The Connections

The connections are made from the rear panel of the modem. The 230 volt

version is shown in Figure 1-2.

outlet.

FUSE 500 mA (T) anti-surge 250 V mains fuse (230 volt

version). You must first disconnect the modem from

the line and then from the power supply before

replacing this fuse. Always replace the fuse with one

of the same rating.
