Panel Overview
• Each USB Data Management Panel can upload or commission 8 NRUs.
• By using multiple Data Management Panels, the NuScribe computer can upload or commission
many NRUs simultaneously.
• The Data Management ports are hard plastic cups with 4 metal spring rings. 2 springs are used
for turning on and charging the NRU during upload and commissioning, and 2 springs are used
for USB data communications during upload and commissioning.
• The cup connectors are numbered 1 to 8. Number 8 is always at the end of the panel that has
the ethernet ports and power connector.
• The panel has 2 ethernet ports, corresponding to the 8 cup connectors (4 cup connectors per
ethernet port) of the panel.
• The 2 ethernet ports connect to a 10Gb (or faster) switch which is used to interconnect other
Data Management Panels and the NuScribe computer.
• The USB data rate of each cup connector is 14 MB/sec. This corresponds to 56 MB/sec for each
ethernet port, (4 cup connectors per port).
