A MCS may possess a front end processor (FEP) that gathers and relays all data from the connected data collectors to the associated database or databases. The data collectors, in turn, collect all data from connected gaming devices. Communication between components shall be via a method approved by the commission and at a minimum conform to the communication protocol requirements set forth in section 5317.27 of this Part. If the FEP maintains buffered/logging information, there shall be a system in place that prevents the loss of critical information contained therein.
