Peter Clews Jan 16, 2008:
Since it mentions "buzón de datos" as an alternative to an Ethernet port, it seems clear that this is a means of access to tha data, not a way of identifying particular items of data. I rather think that what is meant is a memory dump, rather than a map.
mjsmyth Jan 16, 2008:
It could perhaps be talking about accessing a "data log" in some way, thus it needs the memory map to know how the data is laid out...
Peter Clews Jan 16, 2008:
I suggest you ask the client for clarification. The terminology sounds wrong to me (and I have a BSc in Computer Science + 35 years experience. A memory map tells you what part of the memory is used for what purpose, but it doesn't mean you can read data

data base (?)

After reading pclews's reply, I wonder if they meant "base de datos" instead of "buzón de datos".

You can extract data from a database, and then do something to the data to render something else... right? As opposed to just getting the data from an inbox and "reading" them as is. (What pclews said).

data mailbox

They mean somewhere they can enter (a mailbox) and extract or input /send + receive data. Maybe Smarty's databox sounds neater. You choose.
