Utah Scientific RCP‑1 (SC‑3 Controller)
 
Troubleshooting
For Utah routers we support the SC-3 controller and the RCP-1 (ASCII) protocol. Sometimes this protocol is referred as a UDI protocol. The software will not work with the SC-2 controller because the RCP-1 is not fully implemented for that controller but It will probably work with the UDI-1B converting panel. The ports for SC-3 can be configured to work as 422 or 232. In the case of 232, it is necessary to use a null-modem cable with a gender-bender. During configuration it is necessary to bind the UDI protocol to this port. Binding can be done either from the Utah’s RMS software or via diagnostics serial port. The recommended port settings are:
Baud rate is 38400
8 bits
No parity
1 stop bit
No flow control
When configuring the port it is necessary to turn off the Matrix Refresh Report mode. The Matrix Change Report and Matrix Take Report modes can be set to on, although it is optional because the software turns them on automatically. When using the RMS for configuration of the router, it is necessary to add the CSP table even when no CSP devices present. The diagnostics port is a RS-232 port with DTE pinouts and fixed parameters:
38400 baud
8 data bits
No parity
1 stop bit
