What is an example of a real life scenario?
A geophysics survey team is equipped with a GAN terminal connected to a PC used for data analysis and communication. The terminal keeps an ‘open’ MPDS connection that automatically sends system reports and continually monitors the company’s internal e-mail over its secure intranet. An e-mail is received from the project manager asking for an urgent re-run of a particular seismic test. The team leader responds by making a voice call to clarify the test parameters. The results from the test are in the form of a 1MB data file which is uploaded using file transfer protocol (FTP) directly on to the company’s knowledge management system over a secured mobile ISDN link.
