UCCI-2
Universal Communication Controller Improved

The Universal Communication Controller Improved-2 (UCCI-2) is the most flexible device that establishes interface from standard Ethernet TCP/IP communication channels (TCP-client, TCP-server, Multicast-server, Multicast-client and UDP) to standard as well as “non-standard” synchronous/asynchronous systems (non-standard in terms of Commercially Of The Shelf equipment).

The UCCI-2 can interface 2 synchronous/asynchronous systems to 2 network channels simultaneously. The UCCI supports a variety of datalink protocols like Link-1, Link-11B, SIMPLE, ATDL, HDLC, LAPB, Synchronous transparent, Asynchronous transparent and the flexible Universal-mode (which is well known from the Universal Communication Controller, UCC).

To provide flexibility and create a wide adaptation level within these different modes, the UCCI-2 has wide a number of parameters which can be altered to interface to specific protocols. Synchronisation word, bit encoding and bit stripping are only a couple of these parameters. Though the UCCI-2 is designed from a total new concept, a lot of its functionality on the serial communication side is comparable to that of the UCCI-R5/UCC.

The UCCI-2 goes way beyond the functionality of the UCC in terms of flexibility, ease of installation, ease of configuration, time synchronisation possibilities, logging- and data field extraction capabilities. The UCCI-2 provides remote monitoring and configuration of the unit by means of SNMPv3 and/or a standard html-based web-interface and the use of any “brand” of web-browser available. System configuration security is guaranteed by a configurable username and password combination.

The UCCI-2 can be powered from two external power supplies. The power supplies are closely monitored and in case of a power failure an indication is shown at the front of the unit, a message is given on the html-based web-interface and a SNMPv3 “power-fail” notification is sent.
