DS2506-UNW DS1986U
.SH SPECIAL PROPERTIES
.SS memory
.I read-write, binary
.br
8192 bytes of memory. Initially all bits are set to 1. Writing zero permanently alters the memory.
.SS pages/page.0 ... pages/page.255 pages/page.ALL
.I read-write, yes-no
.br
Memory is split into 256 pages of 32 bytes each.
.I ALL
is an aggregate of the pages. Each page is accessed sequentially.
.SH STANDARD PROPERTIES
.so man3/standard.3so
.SH ALARMS
None.
.SH DESCRIPTION
.so man3/description.3so
.SS DS2506 DS1986
The
.B DS2506 (3)
is used for write-once incremental storage. It's main advantage is for audit trails (i.e. a digital purse).
.PP
The
.B DS2506-UNW
is one of the
.I UniqueWare
class of devices. Some of the memory was preprogramed at the factory. See the datasheet for specifics. The
.B DS2502
,
.B DS2505
, and
.B DS2506
differ in their function by the amount of on-board memory they possess. (The internal protocols are slightly different, but the
.I OWFS
system handles this automatically.
