Description:The System Z front-end processor (FEP) is the next major upgrade far AFOS. It consists of high-speed front-end processors for AFOS field sites, along with major changes to the Eclipse back-end processor (BEP) software to accommodate the FEPs. This upgrade, along with communications upgrades to the distribution circuits and at SMCC, will allow higher speed communications flew (perhaps a four-fold increase), which will eliminate the bottleneck on Regional Distribution Circuits (RDCs) . The FEPs, replacing the DCU-50s, will remove the communications function from the AFOS Eclipse. The result will be a faster response to forecaster commands from an Alphanumeric Display Module (ADM) and added applications capability.
