Shipboard Peripheral Replacement System (SPRS™)A high-performance, low-cost replacement for legacy navy peripheral equipmentDesigned to operate in rugged environments
SPRS replaces legacy navy peripheral equipment that is difficult and expensive to maintain. It combines the advantages of modern off-the-shelf technology with a robust mechanical design that allows it to meet the environmental specifications required for naval shipboard applications. With an intuitive graphical user interface, SPRS operates like the peripheral device being replaced so no program changes are required on the host computer. SPRS adds powerful capabilities not possible with the original equipment such as networking, remote control, and greatly increased storage capacity. It is configured with military connectors that mate with existing cables to further simplify the transition and save costs. Conversion of existing media to SPRS is done using either standard Navy utility programs or with Sabtech's tape conversion utility (included). Once converted, SPRS completely eliminates dependence on unsupportable hardware and obsolescent tape and disk media.
• Disk Drives — Disk packs and Removable Interchangeable Media Modules (RIMMs) are mapped to local or networked disk drives. Multiple packs or RIMMs can be stored on a single SPRS disk and are easily mounted by simply selecting from a pop-up list. • Magnetic Tapes — SPRS replaces tape transports by mapping local or networked disk drives to magnetic tape unit numbers. All tape commands are supported such as read, write, rewind, write tape mark, space file, etc. The number of tapes that can be stored is limited only by available disk space. Tapes are mounted by selecting from a pop-up list. • Operator I/O Consoles — Keyboard and display text may be concurrently printed and recorded to a text file, making it easy to cut and paste into messages, reports, and manuals. Operator keystrokes can also be stored in macro files and replayed, saving time and eliminating errors for complex, lengthy or repetitive keyboard inputs. Macros can also be used to automate execution of tests or system startup. To replay a macro, the operator simply selects from a pop-up list. • Printers — Printed text is displayed in a scrollable window. It may also be concurrently routed to a physical printer or recorded to text file.. Mass Storage Capabilities SPRS can be configured with up to 7 mass storage devices, depending on configuration. Its versatile design accommodates 2.5", 3.5", or 5.25" drives, with up to six of those devices behind the front access door using fixed or removable media. Mass storage options include hard drives, solid state drives (SSD), magneto optical drives, CD/DVD drives, DAT drives, LTO drives and more. A special compartment exists for mounting drives that are not qualified for shock or vibration, ensuring that they are mechanically isolated from the rest of the mission critical enclosure. Front and rear panel USB ports allow for external connection of virtually any USB device. Additional SPRS Features A gigabit Ethernet port allows SPRS to communicate with network resources such as servers, other SPRS units, or Storage Area Networks (SANs). It can also be remotely controlled over the network making it possible to centralize the control of multiple load devices and I/O consoles. With SPRS configured as a server, multiple clients can run independent terminal sessions, controlling devices running on the SPRS server.
