4.2.2 Network routing - (advanced users)
The emerald terminal needs to be able to communicate with the Central Database Computer
(CDC) and the Real Time Computer (RTC). If a network is fragmented, and the terminal, CDC
and RTC are on different parts of the network it may be necessary to route communications to
the RTC. In this situation contact the site network administrator.
