• Abstract:
  A significant savings in the life cycle cost of providing connectivity to remote users of the Maintenance Processor Subsystem (MPS) has been shown to be technically feasible. Previous studies indicated a potential savings in excess of $900,000 by using an X.25/RS-232 communications architecture to link the MPS through the Data Multiplexer Network (DMN) to Maintenance Data Terminals (MDT). This report presents the results of testing an X.25fV.35 communications architecture. This architecture is superior in terms of cost savings, maximum data rates, and reduced quantity of X. 25 links required. This report also recommends a speed configuration for the different communications links involved with this architecture.
