display of the trended data may be viewed on a console and a hard copy
may be made if necessary.
Local Traffic Director Ċ The Local Traffic Director (LTD) is a highway
device that controls communications between the devices on a local
data highway. The LTD is also used to manage communications
between a device on the local highway and a device on the network
highway. Two LTDs may be used in a local area for redundant
communication capability.
Network Traffic Director Ċ The Network Traffic Director (NTD) is a
PROVOX Data Highway device that controls the communications of
