transmissions, such as asynchronous and synchronous
transmissions. A front-end communication processor connects
all network communication lines to a central computer to
relieve the central computer from performing network
control, format conversion and message handling tasks. A
concentrator/multiplexor is a device used for combining
several lower-speed channels into a higher-speed channel.
