UDC-RDS Serial Data Link Delay Emulator

The UDC-RDS from East Coast Datacom comes in two flavours

High Speed Network Latency Emulator

For testing network transmission delays. The UDC-RDS Network Delay Simulator allows connections at data rates of 8kbps up to 3.072Mbps while simulating network latency. The user selectable delays are for both data and control signals and range from 0 milliseconds up to 1 second in each direction. The WAN Delay Simulator allows users to test and pre-configure Routers (with software applications)and other critical DTE equipment for reliable network operation while simulating network delay times.

Low Speed Data Link Delay Emulator

Serial Data Link Delay Emulator. The UDC-RDS Network Delay Emulator allows connections at data rates of 300bps up to 1.024Mbps while simulating network latency. The user selectable delays are for both data and control signals and range from 0 milliseconds up to 1 second in each direction. The WAN Delay Simulator allows users to test and pre-configure Routers (with software applications)and other critical DTE equipment for reliable network operation while simulating network delay times.

The UDC-RDS serial data link emulator allows users to test/stage critical low data rate testing of DCE or DTE equipment while emulating network delays. The unit provides a realistic simulation of physical network behavior with respect to time delays, clock rates and interface control signal passage. The unit supports user data rates of 8kbps up to 3.072Mbps while providing delays from zero to a maximum of 1 second on each way per physical data link.

By using the UDC-RDS in place of or in series with a real data link (WAN) a wide variety of error conditions can be introduced under controlled and testable conditions.

The unit has two data port interfaces that support RS-232, RS-422/449, RS-530, V.35 and X.21. The data interfaces can be mix and matched where applicable, such as a V.35-to-RS-530 connection.

The UDC-RDS also allows the user to pass or force control signals. The control signals are also delayed along with the user data.

The unit is configured via accessible front panel dip switches and is available in a stand-alone or rack mount chassis. The user has no software to load as all configuration is within the UDC-RDS. Installation is fast and simple by setting the internal switches for Delay Simulation, Clocking, Carrier Operation and RTS to CTS delay. All clocking and signal crossover are provided within the UDC-RDS.

The UDC-RDS has status LED’s for each attached DTE or DCE device which allows the user to visually confirm the presence of control signals.

The UDC-RDS is housed in a sturdy metal enclosure and operates on 110/220VAC.

The unit has a three year warranty and a 24 hour turnaround on warranty repairs.
