UPNOD TCS 2000 - Terminal Control System¶
INTRODUCTION¶
UPNOD TCS 2000 is a flexible family of units for terminal handling.
The UPNOD TCS units have a number of basic functions that enable the use of a unit as a stand-alone system as well as a node in a terminal network. A TCS can always be incrementally upgraded to incorporate more of the possible functions.
SUMMARY OF CAPABILITIES¶
-
Port Contention Unit
The TCS enables the connection of more terminals than the number of available computer ports. Terminals are dynamically connected to computer ports. The port is declared to be free when the session is terminated.

-
Terminal Switch
The TCS enables a terminal to connect to any of several computers connected to a node.

-
Multiplexer/Concentrator
The TCS enables several terminals/ports to share a single high-speed link by concentrating several low/medium speed connections.

Local Area Networks¶
Interconnecting several TCS units located in the same or nearby buildings gives a local area network which allows all computing resources to be accessible from anywhere in the local area. Several nodes connected via multiplexed lines behave as one switching system.
Regional Networks¶
By connecting single TCS units or units that are members of a local area network with each other, using leased lines from the public carrier network, computing resources from an entire region may be efficiently shared by all terminals connected to nodes in the region.
