Master System Control Function (MSCF) - The RPG HCI:
Product Distribution Communications

Graphic showing how to access information on user communications at the RPG HCI

As products are generated by the Radar Product Generator (RPG), they are sent to the various users over product distribution lines of various transmission rates. These communication lines for principal users (such as the NWS) can be either dedicated or dial-up connections. Offices that control a specific RPG have dedicated connections; All others have dial-up connections. These communication lines are controlled at the RPG Human Control Interface (HCI).

Check your understanding!
