This requirement only refers to PC Mux software which we provide for testing purposes. It has been
developed for Windows NT 4.0. Of course the multiplexer protocol can be implemented in any OS.
2.2 PC Multiplexer Simulation Software
In order to use the PC Mux, you get a *.zip file, which includes
files to install the PC Multiplexer Simula-
tion Program on your PC.
The PC Mux is a Windows NT program, which enables the usage of the external multiplexer on a PC.
This program is a suitable means to demonstrate and make use of the functionality of the multiplexer
during the development phase. Only the binary versions of the PC Mux files will be provided.
