UKUS may contain BS with radio relay stations, with analog channels, with space communication stations, with digital channels (xDSL, PDH, SDH), with a public telephone network, with secret communication equipment and network infrastructure units. The latter include wired and wireless removal units, a switching unit, a routing unit. All UKUS blocks contain removable FLASH memory for recording current data and block settings.

UKUS can form the configuration of the internal network consisting of AP-in and BS topology "ring", or the configuration of the internal network consisting of AP-in, BS, block (s) of switching topology "star".

In the future, the utility model is illustrated by the description and figures, which show:

- figure 1 is a diagram of the organization of the internal network UKUS with the topology of the "ring";

- figure 2 is a diagram of the organization of the internal UKUS network with topology "star" with a switching unit, a full set of BS and routing unit (option without redundancy);

- figure 4 is a diagram of the organization of the internal UKUS network with topology "star" with redundant connections and a switching unit (option).

UKUS contains a number (set) of subscriber consoles (AP) 1. In figures 1-4, three APs are conventionally shown. Each AP has its own separate outputs 15 for connecting subscribers to external communication channels 3. Inputs 2 are used to connect a headset and a loudspeaker.

UKUS also contains a number of interface units (BS) and a number of network infrastructure units interconnected by an internal Ethernet network.

Each of these AP-c and blocks contains the same processor module that determines the operation algorithm and configuration of UKUS.

The outputs of 15 APs, depending on the configuration of the internal UKUS network (Figs. 1-4), are connected to external communication channels 3 through a series of conjugation units (BS) either sequentially (Fig. 1) or through a switching unit (s) 14 16 and routing unit 17 (FIG. 2). For clarity, schemes redundant UKUS routing unit 17, BS 18 with PDH equipment, BS 19 with SDH equipment in figure 3, 4 is not shown.

APs, switching unit, routing unit, BS-i, wired and wireless extension units are connected by a cable, forming a local network, creating the ability to control two-way voice communication and data transmission on different communication channels between each of the group of internal stationary and / or mobile subscribers and many external. For the work of the local network, the Ethernet protocol 100 Mbit / s IEEE 802.3 with VLAN support IEEE 802.1p, IEEE 802.1q was used.

The connection between the AP and the BS can be realized both using the topology “ring” (FIG. 1), where the APs and BS are connected in series, and using the topology “star”, where they are connected through the switching unit 14 (FIG. 2). When connected according to the star topology, UKUS can have a backup switching unit 16 (Fig. 3) or a reservation of AP and BS connections (Fig. 4).

BS consists of the following modules (not shown in the figures):

- two similar interface modules;

- dual port Ethernet switch;

- processor module.

The processor module controls the equipment of external and internal communication based on Ethernet technology in accordance with the algorithm.

Interface modules are used to connect the BS with external means and communication channels. The necessary interfaces are provided by appropriate programming of the modules.

The AP contains a processor module, a two-port subscriber interface module with ports for connecting the telephone headset and loudspeaker to the internal network via an IP gateway and Ethernet, and a wireless communication module, which is a low-power transceiver of the IEEE 802.15.4 standard.

The AP processor module controls the communications and equipment selected by the subscriber for external and internal communication based on Ethernet technology in accordance with the algorithm.

The algorithm is implemented in software loaded into each processor module and controlling the work, which provides control of the internal self-organization of communication networks by administering equipment and subscribers, with various topologies, automatic call routing, interfacing with various types of communication tools (such as simplex, duplex, single-channel , multi-channel, narrowband), call management (including call hold, call forwarding, call switching, answering machine), call control communication channels (including automatic selection of a channel according to the priority list, displaying the channel status, creating and saving configurations of several communication networks), radio control (including switching of reception / transmission modes, tuning, frequency setting, and other parameters according to the radio control protocol.

In addition, the AP includes random access memory (RAM), Flash memory, an SD Card, a dual-port Ethernet switch, and I / O ports.

APs include: the commander’s console, which provides advanced functionality for managing the communications network and access to telecommunications, and the crew’s console, which provides limited functionality for managing the communications network and access to telecommunications.

The functionality of each AP is determined by the software loaded into the AP processor module.

The commander’s console includes a color graphic display and a set of keys with software-defined functions for adapting the console to the tasks of an official and allowing you to control the communication network directly from the console:

- call functions by pressing the AP buttons;

- Real-time display of subscriber statuses and equipment status of internal and external networks;

- display of the statuses of various equipment of the object (for example, transport base), navigation data, date and time;

- assignment of fixed groups of subscribers for quick access;

- the ability to simultaneously work in several communication networks;

- Creation of other permanent and temporary user groups.

The crew member’s remote does not have a display.

All APs are equipped with a built-in backlit keyboard.

Centralized administration in UKUS is not necessary.

Each BS and network infrastructure contains the same processor module with an algorithm.

BS switches carry out packet switching on the internal network, as well as provide basic network services.

Each BS switch consists of two switches, one of which works, and the other is in hot standby.

The routing block is an IP gateway for connecting UKUS to an external digital network, which provides dynamic routing of voice messages and data.

The wireless extension unit 11 allows subscribers to be in radio communication with each other while within direct line of sight at a distance of up to 100 m from the object. For the operation of this unit, the IEEE 802.15.4 standard is used.

The wire removal unit 10 is designed to organize a wired digital channel for connecting a power supply unit that is up to 500 m away from the object. To interface this unit with an external network, an Ethernet 10/100 Mbit / s interface is used.

The integrity of UKUS is achieved through the use of a protocol for dynamically updating address and identifier tables in UKUS network devices in accordance with their network status and access rights.

To ensure reliability, network devices have a redundant Ethernet channel.

UKUS works as follows.

Before turning on the power of the AP, the subscriber inserts an SD Card into it. After turning on the power, the configuration is loaded into the AP from the SD Card and the AP is self-diagnosed. In case of successful completion of self-diagnosis, the AP sends to the network its personal identifier, which is accepted by other network devices. Those network devices that are included in the configuration of this AP are turned on and operational, they send their personal identifiers to the AP. These devices will appear on the display as available. Self-diagnosis and sending a personal identifier occurs every time you turn on any network device.

Subsequently, using the keyboard and the intuitive menu of the subscriber, the subscriber selects the desired subscriber (s) and proceeds with communication.

UKUS has the functionality to provide the following communication services:

- the creation of several compounds simultaneously;

- management of multiple connections;

- hold and call forwarding;

- call switching;

- an answering machine;

- selective telephone communication between network subscribers;

- circular telephone communication between all subscribers or groups of subscribers;

- connecting subscribers to external communication channels;

- automatic switching of internal and external channels;

- manual automated switching (communication via operator, radio operator);

- organization of static information transmission routes.

The main advantages of UKUS can be fully realized when it is used in digital communication networks.
