Electronic Mailbox Client/Server Overview
|
| CTIs FastSync® Mailbox System gives
companies, Internet Service Providers (ISPs), financial institutions, divisions,
departments, law firms, medical facilities or other types of operations a way to exchange
data files quickly between inside and outside locations using either internal LAN links or
high-speed modems over either standard dial-up or ISDN telephone lines --- no more
delivering paper documents, floppy disks, cutting mag-tapes or midnight deliveries.

Toyota Corporation is a good
example of a company who uses various FastSync mailbox systems. The system provides
a total file management audit trail for every file sent and/or received within the super
hub system. For example - who sent what and when - was the transmission successful -
was it picked-up by the receiving party - when and where were the files archived - when
were the files purged from the system - etc. The FastSync Mailbox system is a
powerful, microprocessor oriented Data Management and Store-and-Forward Mailbox System
that supports data transmissions in a very secure client/server virtual FTP server
application environment that would otherwise have to be handled by an expensive mainframe
computer system. The system may also be used as a Value-Added-Network (VAN). Click here to see VAN details. Click here for more details on Mailbox Systems

| FastSync 2780 & 3780
BSC RJE Software Overview Definition of 3780:
3780 Remote Job Entry. A bi-synchronous (BSC) protocol. A method of submitting
work either to or from a mainframe (and/or another PC) in a batch format. Developed
by IBM in the 1970s and initially called 2780. Because of its inherent
error correcting and data reliability, this protocol is widely used within many industries
and applications. 3780 BSC operates within all electronic data commerce
environments. A few examples include: Automotive (Releases, ASNs; and
CAD/CAM/CAE/CIM file transfers), Retail (Point-of-Sale applications), Government (IRS
Electronic Tax Filing), Transportation (Shipping & Trucking EDI), Banking/Financial
(Automatic Teller Machines, Lock Boxes, Credit Card Verifications, Electronic Fund
Transfers, Check Clearing), Health Care (Medical and Medicaid Billing), and Federal
Reserve Transactions. The most popular 3780 package marketed by CTI is the SyncPack2000e package (it doesn't
require the use of an expensive synchronous interface card).

i232/SyncPack®
(FastSync Software w/RS-232 SyncCard)
|
| The i232/SyncPack is a
complete data communications package which enables a PC link into a mainframe computer or
another PC system. The package consists of the following components: an internal RS-232
synchronous half size card (referred to as the CTI SyncCard) that is installed inside a
PC; an RS-232 synchronous cable that connects the SyncCard to whatever synchronous modem
is used with a system; an IBM 2780/3780 bi-synchronous remote job entry (RJE) software
package (called FastSync); and a comprehensive, easy to
use, Reference Manual. The SyncCard is purchased from an outside vendor and is a
programmable, synchronous and asynchronous serial communications card. The card supports
high-level protocols such as 3270, 5250, 3770, and CTI's 3780 software products. This card
can be used in virtually any synchronous PC-to-Mainframe, PC-to-Mini or PC-to-PC
communications environment. The SyncCard comes standard with an integral null-modem
capability which some mainframe users find particularly useful in connecting directly to
the mainframe's front-end-communications controller.

SyncPack 2000e Series
(Enhanced FastSync Software with External Hayes V34+ Modem) |
| The $995 SyncPack 2000e package consists of FastSync 3780 BSC Software along with the Hayes OPTIMA®
336 Business Modem which includes Asynchronous (230,400 bps) throughput and Synchronous
capabilities (28,800 bps - 33,600 bps), plus V.17 FAX. The modem package also provides
Password Security, Dial-Back and Remote Configuration. This package
eliminates the need for either an internal or external synchronous device to run
bi-synchronous software! Run both async and bisync through the same comm port. This
means no more opening the PC, no more configuration of IRQs and I/O addresses. No more A/B
switch boxes. FastSync 3780 Software (enhanced
version). This is a special Asynchronous and Bi-synchronous software version that
handles on-the-fly character translation thus you do not have to install any
type of internal synchronous card inside the computer. All of your communications flow
directly through the PCs standard serial port.
External Hayes OPTIMA 336 V.34 Business Modem. This modem supports
both Asynchronous and Synchronous communications with speeds up to 33,600 bits per second
using CTIs 3780 bi-synchronous software and 230,400 bps using asynchronous software
and V.42bis data compression.
