Having done the IP setup with some help in Marin, I can't see
this scenario too well. A major question to me is "will the R6 software
allow accumulation of cards from only within a vote
center, or will it allow accumulation across several
vote center". If it allows accumulation across vote centers,
then you could use 3 or 4 devices to accumulate 10 or 12 other cards, then
upload all the files from that group in one "load". That way you could
specify several units from the "local" or closest precinct and know the IP
address was already loaded onto them, since you're only needing 3 or 4 units for
the upload, you can have a "runner" at the location already to bring them in at
the close of polls. Maybe there's a vote center at the location
itself? Anyway, my point is simply that I don't think you'd need 16 upload
units for 285 cards.
