Task 

The Universal Portable CTEL Interface (UPCI [UHI]) control unit functions as a communications management platform and converts electrical signals into optical signals for the Mediated Oriented System Transport (MOST) bus and vice versa. The UPCI [UHI] control unit is connected to the UPCI [UHI] portable CTEL holder (Universal Handy Interface) (A34/15) by a shielded wiring harness. This ensures the connection of the portable CTEL (A34/6) to the vehicle communication via the UPCI control unit.
