With the new ADA requirements facing our
OS customers, they will likely be knocking on our door to purchase TS units to
compliment their existing OS systems with one TS unit in each precinct -
coexisting with the OS units in a blended system. While there are some problems
with programming such a system (namely needing to have another Vote Center
category created for the TS units), these are hurdles that can be managed (I
guess they can - does anyone have thoughts on this?). My bigger concern is
handling the uploading of both TS and OS results via modem into the GEMS
server.
What
are the known issues relating to upload? I know that TS uses RAS while OS uses regular
serial com ports, thus the need for separate modem banks. Can GEMS receive modem
uploads from both OS and TS units at the same time? Has this been tested in any
kind of a medium to large scale test? Does anyone have any
experience with receiving both TS and OS modem uploads?
Thanks.
