Hardware configuration 
Each site must have an EST3 system. In each EST3 system, at 
least one panel must include a 3-MODCOM module to support 
modem communication between headquarters and sites A and B. 
The KDC and ACDB programs can communicate with the EST3 
system either by modem, or by direct connection to an RS-232 
port on the CPU module.
