Message Switching Packages

Domestic and world trade message switching are discussed in this section.

Domestic Message Switching

This package (MESW) contains the mainline programs which handle the message switching function and the overlength unsolicited application message transmission in the TPF system. The purpose of the MESW package is to provide programs which assemble, queue, transmit and log message switching messages between message switching terminals. It also receives and transmits teletype application messages. The SIP CONFIG macro parameter MSGSW is used to specify whether or not message switching is included in the system.

World Trade Message Switching

World Trade users, those who specify USER=WTC vs. USER=USA on the CONFIG macro, are generated with the IPARS version of message switching if MSGSW=YES is specified.
