General The UFX 314 data bus de-multiplexer (BN 20610071) is used for the central control of all channel units installed in a UFG 412 base unit. Each channel unit is connected using a separate cable. Several demultiplexers can be connected to a system over a network. 1. Features Q Facilitates the use of the USW 30 control software Q Required on the use of certain functions for some channel units, e. g.
2. Mechanical layout The points are described in the plan view from left to right. 2.1 Rear view Redundant Power System Expansion connection for monitoring a redundant power supply, currently has no function Modem USB port for connecting a modem (see section 6) or a USB stick Power Power connection 12.5 V/approx. 200 mA (without controller or USB device), max. 900 mA 12 x Mini-DIN sockets For the connection of up to 12 UFO®compact channel units 2.
3. Installation 3.1 Installation The demultiplexer is installed in the 1 HU fan unit that is mounted above the base unit. For this purpose the following steps are required: Q Fit the UFX 314 into the 19” front panel (1 HU) supplied Q Remove the pre-assembled blanking plate Connect straight connectors on connecting cables to the demultiplexer (mini-DIN sockets 1 ...

Connect the power cable for the UFX 314 to the screw terminals in the power supply for the base unit 3.2 UFO®compact controller The UFO®compact controller can be connected to any of the demultiplexers. However, it is to be noted that the controller only operates with the demultiplexers that belong to the same group to which it is connected. The usage of an older UFO®compact controller prior to software version 9.20 is in principle possible, however there may be connection problems with the channel units.
3.4 USB installation 3.4.1 Microsoft Windows You will find the driver for the connection of a PC using USB on the USW 30 control software CD (not included). To install the driver, you will need administrator permissions on the PC. The installation is described based on the English version of Windows XP. If the UFX 314 indicates an error after connecting/changing connections, or if it is not correctly detected by Windows, disconnect it from the PC and restart it using the Reset button.
Ignore this message by clicking “Continue Anyway”. The driver is now installed. Note: After driver installation has been completed, a new network connection will be available (name “USB Ethernet/RNDIS”) which can be configured and used as a standard (Ethernet) network connection. The driver installation is now complete. Windows confirms again that the driver has been installed.
Click “Properties”. Select “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)” and then click “Properties”.
Select “Use the following IP address”. You must complete “IP address” and “Subnet mask” to suit the address of your demultiplexer. If the UFX 314 is operated with DHCP, ask the person responsible for the DHCP server for the correct settings - in most cases “Obtain an IP address automatically” works. If “Zeroconf” (factory setting) is used on the UFX 314, select “Obtain an IP address automatically”. If the UFX 314 is set to “Manual”, you must set an IP and subnet mask suitable for the device.
5. Web interface Every UFX 314 has a web interface that can be reached by entering the IP address for the demultiplexer in a web browser. You can determine the address using USW 30 or KUBdate. 5.1 The main page The main page is divided into two areas, at the top the serial number, IP address and other links for the demultiplexer and below a list of all demultiplexers found, sorted by groups. All the links for a demultiplexer can be password-protected.
5.3 Status page The Status page contains information on network addresses, software and hardware versions as well as the time and capacity utilisation. 5.4 Update page On this page you can update the device's software. Normally the software is updated using the application KUBdate. You can extract the update archive from the Kathrein update bundle using a ZIP application; then upload it using this page. Should the bundle contain several archives, the file "bundle_info.
Select here “Connect to the Internet” and then click “Next”. Now select “Set up my connection manually”. After selecting “Connect using a dial-up modem”, use “Next” to open the dialog box for the connection's name.
Enter a meaningful name for the connection to this demultiplexer as the name for the Internet service provider. Enter here the telephone number to which the demultiplexer is connected. Enter here the same user name and password as you have set using USW 30. A check mark must also be set at “Make this the default Internet connection”. If you have not entered a password using USW 30, or have entered a blank password, the UFX 314 will accept any login, irrespective of user name and password.
The “New Connection Wizard” is completed with this dialog box. If you want, you can select “Add a shortcut to this connection to my desktop” to be able to make the connection in future directly from the desktop. Otherwise, you will find the connection in the network connections where you have just opened the wizard. This window always appears when you want to establish a connection with the UFX 314. The first time this window is opened, it is necessary to make a few further settings.
If you are using an ISDN modem, click “Configure”. Otherwise select the “Security” tab. With an ISDN modem you must change the “Modem protocol” setting to “V.120 (64k)”. After accepting your changes using “OK”, select the “Security” tab.
If “Show terminal window” or “Run script” is selected, clear the selection. Click “Advanced” and then click “Settings” to change the advanced security settings. In this dialog box, select as “Data encryption” “No encryption allowed” and then “Allow these protocols”. Only “Unencrypted password” is to be selected. After leaving this dialog box using “OK”, also leave the “Properties” dialog box using “OK”.
Now click “Dial” to establish the connection. The settings made are saved and do not need to be made again next time. 6.2 Setting up in Linux It is recommended to use a terminal program with a graphic interface such as KPPP. It should be noted that all modems currently available with a USB interface have been primarily developed for Windows and they may therefore be difficult or impossible to use with Linux. It is significantly easier to use serial modems, if necessary also with USB-RS 232 adapter.
Select the “Accounts” tab and click “New ...”. Select “Manual Setup” at the prompt. Enter a meaningful name for your connection in the “Connection name” box. Click “Add ...” to open a dialog box for entering the demultiplexer's telephone number. On the other tabs you can leave all the default settings.
Select the “Modems” tab and click “New ...”. Assign a name to your modem and select the appropriate connection in “Modem device”. Ensure the speed is not too high. On the “Modem” tab you can poll the modem to check whether you have selected the right connection and an appropriate speed.
Choose the connection you have just setup and, if you are using several modems, the correct modem. Then enter the same user name and password as you have set using USW 30. The connection is established using “Connect”. If you have not entered a password using USW 30 or have entered a blank password, the UFX 314 will accept every login, independent of user name and password. So anybody who knows the telephone number can dial into the system.
