Which item provides the X-Windows terminal displayed at the MCW?

• A. Monitor and Control Display (MCD) software component
• B. Control and Monitor Display (CMD) computer software configuration item (CSGI)
• C. Terminal Display Interface (TDI)
• D. Display Coordinator (DC)

Answer: (B)

The X-Windows terminal displayed at the MCW is provided by the Control and Monitor Display computer software configuration item. In this system, the CMD CSIG defines and controls the software that supports the display subsystem, including the X-Windows terminal environment used by the MCW. The MCD component is the actual display application, but it relies on the CMD configuration to deliver and manage the terminal interface. The Terminal Display Interface is focused on connecting terminal devices to the system, not supplying the X-Windows terminal itself, and the Display Coordinator handles coordinating multiple displays rather than providing the terminal environment. Understanding this separation helps you see why CMD’s computer software configuration item is the correct source for the X-Windows terminal at the MCW.
