The system uses a Pentium

equipped computer operating within a Windows NT

environment to supply real-time status and control for the Adaptive Broadband
components. Windows NT is a multi-tasking and multithread operating system that
provides MiniMAC with graphical user interface.
MiniMAC screens and data can be accessed via remote access network lines. This ability
to network additional computers locally allows LAN users (with the appropriate
MiniMAC software) to access the MiniMAC RMS. The MiniMAC system can be
upgraded at any time via the remote access network link.
