The Red/Black Encryption Interface Unit (RBEIU) is a custom encryption and decryption interface unit. The RBEIU provides a network interface to the KIV-7M, and other similar units.
- Provides a LAN interface to facilitate access by multiple computers to the KIV-7M over the LAN (both collocated and remote).
- Translates data received over the Local Area Network (LAN) using TCP/IP communications socket protocol into the clock, data, gate protocol used by the KIV-7M unit using its RS-422 ports.
- No connection between the Red and Black data paths.
