spTsrv comes in three form factors supporting 4, 8 and 16 channels. The base unit is 1U height. The 8 and 16-channel units come in a 19” rack-mount metal enclosure and operate on 110/220 VAC. The 4-channel unit is shelf mount with standard power of 5 or 12 VDC. Other power options are available on all units. The enclosure front contains a power LED, operational LEDs, and a serial maintenance port. System information is available through the maintenance ports or via a network connection. The enclosure back contains RJ-45 connectors for Ethernet and serial RS-232 ports. Each serial port includes transmit and receive data LEDs, and supports TxD, RxD, RTS, CTS, DCD, ground, and synchronous clock RS-232 signals.
Plus, all have the ability to interact remotely with an ASE2000. ASE2000 version 2, release 16 or later can connect to a spTsrv unit and present communication data at any remote location just as if it were at the spTsrv site.
