Prototype Universal Network Interface Device.

Abstract

The thesis describes a prototype version of a flexible message processor designed for computer communications network applications. This message processor is microcomputer based and is called a Universal Network Interface Device. The thesis describes the operational features and construction details of the three cards, which were developed in the construction of the prototype device. These three cards are used with two microcomputer boards and a memory board to provide the capability to interface local users to a computer communications network. The device also provides the capability to act as the node connecting two networks operating under dissimilar protocols. (Author)
