I think I have solved this. I had asked Vesternet what I should do with the controller when instructions from a bridge controller (UCM/Z-Wave) say "Press the ‘Learn’ button, then activate the sending of system information from the controller using the procedures given by the Z-Wave device manufacturer" and the reply was follow instructions in the manual to "Send Node Information Frame and Wake Up Notification". This I did (i.e. press all 4 buttons then button 2) with no response from the UCM/Z-Wave.

Looking at the UCM/Z-Wave manual section "Inclusion/Replicating for Various Manufacturers" it seemed to me that in a number of cases it was saying just put the controller in Include mode. So I did this with the Popp controller (i.e. press all 4 buttons, then button 3 then button 1) and that seems to have allowed the UCM/Z-Wave to read the network configuration.

I would have thought (naively obviously) that the UCM/Z-Wave learn mode was waiting for a controller to send it something and a controller in Include mode would be waiting for another node to send it its details but I guess its not at simple as that. Anyway it does seem to have worked so hope this might help someone else.
