Get NEW FEATURES and prolong the life of your NTP Router - update to RCCore V3.

RCCore is the control software that handles configuration, control and supervision of all router modules in an NTP audio signal distribution system. It also forms a communication interface to NTP's VMC and BLISS control applications and to third-party communication protocols. RCCoreV3 expands the capabilities of NTP's audio routers and features improved functionality. The design features update of equipment already in operation.

RCCore is based on the highly rugged QNX Neutrino real-time operating system. The QNX operating system has very high reliability and is specially designed for critical industrial applications and superior embedded designs, ie flight industry. RCCore 3.0 runs on the NTP 635 system controller - a high-performance industrial-grade PC with an integral solid-state server providing fast control access and resources for additional control applications - and on the NTP 625-151 controller cards.

NTP's RCCoreV3 software operates through a network-based infrastructure with all communication based on TCP/IP link protocol and a 10 or 100 Mbit/s LAN/WAN interface.

Benefits arising from implementing RCCoreV3 include a fast and up-to-date operating system, featuring remote access and login at expert-user level for system set-up, maintenance and database management. The new software also allows secure access via Virtual Private Network. Extended features include a plug-and-play retro-compatible database which can be held on the active controller and on standby controllers.

RCCoreV3 can besides running on the 625-151 controller cards and on the 635-300 controller also run on a standard PC. When running on the 635-300 controller it allows highly efficient control of the router's dual-backbone interface and supports the double LAN interface on 625-800 frames. The design features future support for SNMP.

625 frames having 625-150 controller cards have to be upgraded with 625-151 cards since the 625-150 card is not able to operate QNX. Since RCCore 3.0 can run on the 625-151 cards, one ore more cards can act as controllers in a system. The 625-151 card can thus act as system controller or just as local frame control. All cards has the full MC625 driver firmware and RCCore V3 software, for easy re-use of modules.

Some benefits by implementing RCCore V3:

     Remote access and login on expert level for

• Service, debug, and system set-up
• Upgrade of RCCore, protocols and control applications
• Database management
• Secure access via VPN

    Extended features

• Database backwards compatible - plug and play
• Database on active controller and on standby controllers. Database always updated
• Flexible configuration - all 625-151 boards can be set-up as controller, or as standby controller
• Designed for stand-alone controller on NTP 635-300 or standard PC Hardware
• Maintenance application for visualisation of system status
• Extended control of Router Dual Backbone interface
• Support double LAN interface on 625-800 frames
• Future support for SNMP
