Front-end Processor Quiz

It is simple and cheap, and very good for low-speed transmission.

• Parallel Data Transfer

• Serial Data Transfer.

• Asynchronous Transmission

• message switching

The program that integrates the function of the various hardware components of the front-end processor?

• processor

• software

• direct response

• message switching

This method requires much less cabling and can be used for longer distances. However, it is slower than parallel transmission and synchronization is a critical issue.

• Serial Data Transfer.

• Asynchronous Transmission

• message switching

The front-end processor may have the ability to respond to simple inquiries directly without contact with the host system?

• processor

• software

• direct response

• message switching

A function of front-end processors that service more than one central processing unit?

• Fail-soft function

• message switching

• network protection

• processor

It also performs error detection and correction, apart from inserting and deleting data link control characters.
