An application of distributed processing - In the TDRSS ground communication fault isolation and monitoring systemA computer interface has been designed for the Fault Isolation and Monitoring System, a system providing qualitative and quantitative assessment of the communications between the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System Ground Segment and NASA's Network Control Center. The functional requirements for the interface and the design philosophy are discussed, as are the methods and protocol used to implement the operator support software required to configure the monitoring system and to display and report the results of the analysis. The system relies on the use of intelligent terminals, with the human interface removed from the host computer.
