The capability to receive the transmission of data from remote terminals allows a DATANET-30
system to perform as a:
Message switching center where messages and data are going from one remote terminal to
another
Remote data processing where data from remote stations is processed at a central com-
puter, and as needed, reports are sent to remote stations. The DATANET-30 can be
programmed to handle data traffic for a data processing center with equal facility that
it handles the administrative traffic normally associated with telegraph switching centers
Remote inquiry where an answer is generated by the computer and transmitted to the
station requesting
Automatic data accumulation and distribution to/from a variety of points for batch pro-
cessing by a computer
File updating where reports from remote stations are processed by a central computer
on a batch process basis
