Module description

The RIC-Mz provides Internet Protocol connectivity for Radio Equipment utilizing the serial protocol known as HDLC. Both synchronous and asynchronous modes are supported. The RIC-Mz can transport the HDLC over Internet Protocol in a unencrypted UDP packet or an encrypted DTLS packet and also can convert the HDLC into Digital Fixed Station Interface (DFSI) formats compliant with TIA standards TIA 102.BAHA and 102.BAHA-A to allow connection to any equipment to a Dispatch Console or DFSI Base Station. Control of the RIC-Mz is accomplished with a secure (https) connection to a web browser.
