    SBU128 User Manual 1.3 Product Overview This user manual is arranged to take you through the basics of the hardware, then to software set-up and on to the more specialised user definable software facilities of your SBU128. SBU128 software configuration is generally not a complex operation. In many applications once you have correctly configured the hardware and installed your SBU128s, the default software configuration settings will suffice to provide reliable backup operation.

    1.3.4 Spoofing There are two occurrences with automatic backup technology which need to be provided for. The first is where a terminal or CPU stops transmitting idle data frames. In this instance the SBU128 would normally backup, which is undesirable. Enabling the SBU128 Transmit Spoof causes a line inversion to be sent once a second whenever no data is transmitted from the user DTE to the User port;...
