Microprocessor Utilization in Communications System Monitoring.

摘要

This report illustrates how a microprocessor may be used to monitor the operating performance of the Frankfurt-Koenigstuhl-Vaihingen (FKV) area of the European Defense Communications System (EDCS). Specifically described are the interfaces and software routines necessary to carry out the monitoring function and the advantages and limitations of the proposed microprocessor system. Background information is also given which describes various monitoring methods previously suggested for EDCS. Also described are the various communications devices which are deployed in the FKV area and a non-microprocessor-controlled monitoring system which is currently proposed for that area. (Author)
