- WlUt BRRAY UP LUMMUNILAI IUNS The practical implementation of a wide array of remote terminals and computer systems to the UNIVAC 1108 11 System is primarily due to a modular communication control device and a built-in indexmg technique, both pioneered by Univac. The communication device, called a Com- munication Terminal Module Controller or CTMC, enables up to 32 communica- tion circuits to transmit and receive at the same time. The CTMC aids in increasing the effective throughput of the system by performing most of the routine, time-absorbing func- tions associated with communications.
