Short Description of Changes

This engineering change notice is to replace the metal ADA RJ45 coupler housing mounted on the All-In-One Voting Station booth with a shielded plastic RJ45 coupler housing (Part Number RJ45M25Z0-6A) to eliminate susceptibility to electrostatic disruption. The coupler and molded mounting plate will be attached to the booth using three machine screws with Loctite on the threads to secure the plate during transport and storage. The coupler provides a convenient way to attach a DoubleTalk text-to-speech reader or tally tape printer to the VVPAT or Infinity panel. Per MicroVote, the modification is compatible with all system hardware and software.
