These plug-in modules enable computer-based configuration and control of household lighting, appliances and other devices over the powerline using digital UPB commands. UPB devices can be freely located anywhere in the home. No additional wiring is required and no radio frequency signals are used. Module UMC receives and transmits UPB digital commands and converts these signals to a serial RS-232C interface format. This UMC-USB model is ideal for an installer configuring any UPB devices with a laptop personal computer using UPStart software, since it plugs in to the popular USB port. However, it is not recommended for connection of home automation controllers.
