MOTE Transponder Simulation Protocol Selection

MOTE V.24 & V.26 Link Transponder Simulation Support
The latest version of MOTE provides the following enhanced
features and new functions:
- MOTE V.24 & V.26 Link Transponder Simulation Support:
MOTE Transponder Simulation mode now supports four extra connection methods:
- PCM Link – MOTE is able to simulate PCM, MIU and Transponder connected to the LCC.
- MIU Link (PCM Mode) – MOTE is able to simulate MIU and Transponder connected to the LCC via PCM.
- MIU Link (LCC Mode) – MOTE is able to simulate MIU and Transponder directly connected to the LCC.
- V.26 Link – MOTE is able to simulate V.26 modem and Transponder connected to the LCC.
- MOTE IP OAL & IP Monitor Support:
MOTE IP OAL provides the facilities to communicate with real IP Outstation through the Outstation Auxiliary Link via IP connections whilst MOTE IP Monitor provides the facilities to snoop on the link between IP LCC / IP Instation and IP Outstation.
- MOTE Simulation File:
MOTE is now able to generate the unsolicited Traffic Data and MIDAS Alert messages with pre-configured parameters for all slave modes.
- MOTE IP Outstation & Engineers Terminal Scripting Facilities:
The MOTE scripting facilities now supports IP Outstation Simulation and Engineer Terminal.
- Transponder Simulation in Static mode:
The performance of MOTE Transponder Simulation mode has now been improved to enable better simulation of a fully loaded LCC-Transponder link. Low data latency and faster response time to LCC poll requests is achieved by disabling the information viewer and static loading (i.e. pre-creating the simulated outstations).
- MCE1126B Support:
IP Instation and IP Outstation simulation modes now support the latest MCE1126B specification.
- IP Outstation Address Scanner:
MOTE can now scan a range of IP Addresses and port numbers for IP enabled Outstations.
- Extended support for Synchronous Interfaces:
MOTE supports the existing ELAN HD717 and the new SeaLevel SL3612
PCMCIA card. The SeaLevel 5102 PCI card is also supported for
use
on desktop PCs. These cards extend the capabilities of MOTE
to
operate over MIU (PCM or DIRECT mode) and PCM links, RS422, RS485 and
RS232 communications are all supported. The latest build will
auto-detect which interface is being used without the need for operator
intervention.
- MOTE RS485 OAL Support:
MOTE now supports the Outstation Auxiliary Link via the RS485 link and is able to receive and decode all messages on this link including VEHICLE
DATA. Messages are decoded and logged to disk with full
Information Viewer display.
- IP Instation Mode:
IP Instation mode supporting communication and control of
next
generation MIDAS Outstations over a TCP/IP link is incorporated in the
latest build.
- IP Outstation Simulation Mode:
Simulation of the next generation of IP enabled Outstations is also
available in the latest build. MOTE is able to simulate multiple
addresses and port ranges to extend the number of simulated devices on
one MOTE platform.
- MIDEquip Script Support:
A script language to support the facilities formerly provided by
MIDEQUIP for Acceptance Testing of MIDAS Outstations according to
MCG1089.
- SIEMENS ET Message Support:
Support for Siemens manufacturer-specific Engineers Terminal messages,
including Fault Report, Loop Status and Set Baud Rate have been
incorporated into the Engineers Terminal of MOTE.
- MCG1089 Scripts
SSL are now providing both the scripting facilities and full set of
MCG1089 acceptance scripts to support the Outstation manufacturers in
testing and production of the next generation of IP enabled Outstations.
