Field - Trial Site - The location of the tests performed on product<br />
prototypes (usually in-house <strong>and</strong> select client locations). These<br />
early releases are for test purposes <strong>and</strong> are performed prior to<br />
any first customer shipment.<br />

Flash - Memory - An in-circuit programmable non-volatile<br />
semiconductor technology applied to memory components. Flash<br />
memory is similar in application to EPROMs or what are<br />
commonly referred to as boot Proms, but flash memory has the<br />
advantage of being on-board programmable rather than being a<br />
plug-in component. Promina controller cards (PPM, PLM, <strong>and</strong><br />
PSM) use flash memory for storing system software <strong>and</strong><br />
configuration database data.<br />
