Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate necessity for considering an access control system for the LAN(Local Area Network) of a communicated party equipment in each communication equipment by retransmitting an address from one LAN to the other LAN while being matched with the bit definition of the other LAN. CONSTITUTION:When data are transmitted from a communication equipment 2 of a LAN-A in a carrier sensor multiaccess/collision detection (CSMA/CD) system to a communication equipment 3 of a LAN-B in a token ring system, in the communication equipment 2, the address is sent out from the least significant bit to a LAN transmission line 4 of LAN-A without being conscious of the access control system of the communication equipment 3. After receiving the address from the communication equipment 2 by a transmission/reception circuit 11, an address converter 1 converts the transmission order of this address under the control of a transmission/reception control part 14 by an address converting mechanism 13 while being matched with the bit transmission definition of the LAN-B, and sends out the address from a transmission/reception circuit 12 to a LAN transmission line 5 of the LAN-B. Thus, in the communication equipment 3, the address is normally received from the different type of the communication equipment 2.

In addition, in the token ring method, control information indicating transmission permission called a token is circulated on the transmission path, and only the device that receives this token transmits data, as shown in Figure 2 (b). It is defined that the address is sent starting from 27 bits (IEEE802.5
Conventionally, when LANs with different address bit transmission orders are interconnected for communication, each LAN's communication device sends and receives addresses according to the LAN bit definition of the other device. was.
