MPS 300 / 600

The MPS is a data communication server that attaches to your local-area network to provide wide-area connectivity. A single communication server can support a number of protocols, each of which can be accessed simultaneously by multiple clients. Regardless of their CPU or architecture, all TCP/IP-equipped computers and workstations on your LAN can share the power of UconX communication servers.

The MPS 300/600 family is based on the latest hardware technology, providing more than enough power to handle a full load of network traffic.

Features.



Power Processing.

The design includes one or two MC68360 integrated communication controllers and up to 8 Mbytes of RAM. The MPS 600L also includes 2 Mbytes of Flash EPROM for optional storage of run-time software.



A Spectrum of Protocols.

Because the MPS is programmable, it supports virtually any serial communication protocol. A variety of standard protocol packages are available from UconX, including X.25, Frame Relay, HDLC/SDLC, Asynchronous data transfer, financial market feeds, and radar receivers.

If you need a non-standard protocol, our staff of engineers can create a cost-effective custom solution for you. We also offer ProtoKit -- the tools, training, and support for efficient and successful in-house protocol development. ProtoKit includes a real-time STREAMS operating environment with TCP/IP, sample STREAMS modules and drivers, and device drivers for bit-synchronous, transparent synchronous and asynchronous communicating.

Simplified networking.

With the multi-protocol architecture of the MPS, standard and custom protocols supplied by UconX can coexist on the same server with protocols you develop yourself. A single MPS server provides the unique combination of WAN and LAN protocols you need, giving you an integrated networking solution at a reasonable price.

The MPS 300 and MPS 600 are the most cost-effective solutions on the market. They are ideal for installations which require two to six WAN ports. If you require additional WAN connections, UconX offers the flexible and extensible MPS 3000 family.



Product Operation.

Software and configuration parameters are loaded dynamically to the server from a user-designated client on the LAN. Using the UconX application programming interface (API), each client application establishes a connection to the server and requests access to a particular protocol. Once the connection is open, the application can begin sending and receiving data and control information as defined by the protocol in use. The API shields the application from the actual TCP/IP interface used to communicate with the server.
