The [...] Message Manager is the executive software component that actually handles the communication interface with the terminal network supported by the Front-End Network Processor(FNP). The Message Manager provides both the physical and logical interface to the on-line network of terminals and handles the acceptance and delivery of input and output messages. It validates terminals and handles message transliteration(if necessary), transaction activation, and message journalization for recovery/restart. The Message Manager interfaces with any Level 66 Front-End Network Processor running under the Network Processing Supervisor(NPS) or General Remote Terminal Supervisor(GRTS). This interface includes both direct-access conversational and queued interfaces. 2, record 1, English, - general%20remote%20terminal%20supervisor
