The Single Point of Entry [SPE(M)-U( ) ETU] provides a single access point (remote
or direct) for configuring the system and/or individual cards. The SPE(M)-U( ) ETU
provides the same functionally as a MIF(M)-U( ) ETU with the Activation key
[KMM( )-U] installed, plus a modem unit. An Ethernet port is also provided to allow
programming over a network using TCP/IP.
The SPE(M)-U( ) ETU has six physical COM ports. Two go through the backplane to
COM1 (for PC Programming) and COM2 (for SMDR) on the side of the KSU just like
a MIF(M)-U( ) ETU. The other four COM ports (COM-A, COM-B, COM-C, and
COM-D) are accessible along the front of the card. These COM ports are used for
interfacing to other programmable cards such as a VMS, etc.
The SPE(M)-U( ) ETU provides three methods of communications to the Electra Elite
IPK or Electra Elite 48/192 systems.
The following table provides a comparison between the MIFM and the SPE ETUs.
