摘要： A method of diagnosing, in a network comprising two devices (A), (B) connectable by a link (20), which link may be a physical link such as a cable or may be a wireless link, the type of failure of the connection between the devices (referred to as “link failure”, although the failure may only be a partial failure such as lack of synchronization and may lie not in the link itself but in the one or both devices or the protocol used), said method comprising connecting the two devices together (for example, by physically connecting them or switching on the link between them), at least one (B) of the devices including a plurality of registers (23), each register being adapted to store data about one or more types of said failure, running an auto-negotiation sequence, detecting said failure and passing signals relating to that failure to the relevant register(s), interrogating the or each register, and determining the type of said failure.Examples of link failure are: loss of light; bit/word alignment failure; loss of synchronization during auto-negotiation; auto-negotiation protocol hang during base page exchange; auto-negotiation protocol hang during next page exchange; auto-negotiation protocol (repeated) restart due to link partner initiating a “break link”. There may be included software for controlling the method which includes routines which are able to analyze the information from the registers (23), and to pass signals to a visual display unit (26) to display thereon a message which in accordance with the type of failure determined by the method includes a suggested course of action to overcome the failure.

摘要： A high speed link between chips and comprising a multiplicity of synchronous serial data channels includes an onboard detector for detecting an error rate for each channel. The transmitter and the receiver chips are configured in response to the detector to select the channel having the lowest error rate as the control channel and optionally to render at least the channel with the highest error rate inactive.

摘要： A plurality of serial data streams are transmitted on a corresponding plurality of lines at a common frequency in equal groups of symbols. A framing signal composed of groups of symbols corresponding in number to groups of data symbols is transmitted on an additional control line. Each group of symbols in the framing signal includes a majority of symbols capable of representing a first plurality of code words and a second plurality, substantially less than the first plurality, of valid code words, and a minority of symbols which constitute parity check symbols. Each of the valid code words consists of a first sub-group of similar symbols and a second plurality of similar symbols. For some of the valid code words the symbols in the first sub-group are similar to the symbols in the second sub-group. For other valid code words the symbols in the first sub-group are different from the symbols in the second sub-group. The valid code words correspond to groups which represent (a) start of a data packet or block; (b) data/(c) a gap between groups of data; and (d) an idle state. The sequence of groups in the framing signal is monitored by means of a state machine.

摘要： A stackable network unit which can form a ring with other units has a master mode in which it can place packets on the ring, so that they can be ultimately forwarded from other units, and a repeat mode in which it can make a request for transfer of mastership of the ring, inserting bits in a header of an arbitration packet. If a master unit has completed the transmission of a packet and, preferably, after the required inter-packet gap has elapsed, it has not yet received an arbitration header to permit the making of an arbitration decision it can transmit a subsequent packet. The header information of this packet indicates to the other units that this subsequent packet is part of a burst of packets and the other units should not set requests in the header of this packet because this packet would not be used for arbitration. The master unit indicates the nature of the subsequent packet by setting a sequence number in the header of the packet to distinguish it and following packets in a burst from the ‘first’ packet which is the one used to pick up requests from the units that may need to become the master unit.
摘要翻译：可以与其他单元形成环的可堆叠网络单元具有主模式，其中它可以在环上放置分组，使得它们可以最终从其他单元转发，并且可以在其中进行转移请求的重复模式在该仲裁包的头部插入位。如果主单元已经完成了分组的传输，并且优选地，在所需的分组间间隔已经过去之后，它还没有接收到仲裁报头以允许作出可以发送后续分组的仲裁决定。该分组的报头信息向其他单元指示该后续分组是分组的突发的一部分，并且其他单元不应该在该分组的报头中设置请求，因为该分组不会用于仲裁。主单元通过在分组报头中设置序列号来指示后续分组的性质，以便从“第一”分组中突发出来的分组中跟随分组，该分组是用于从可能的单元接收请求的分组需要成为主机。

摘要： A method of operating a network device in a communication system for the transmission of data packets which include network addresses identifying sources and destinations of data, the network device being capable of both bridging and routing decisions and including a forwarding database by means of which a packet including network address data can be forwarded to at least one port and thereby to at least one network path identified by a network address, and packets can be forwarded to at least one port in response to a media access control address. The method comprises establishing a data table which contains entries comprising a network address of an end station to which a packet is destined, a respective media access control address and an identification of at least one port to which the packet will be directed within the device. The table is accessed in response to network addresses and media access control addresses, whereby the same table can be used for both routing and bridging decisions.

摘要： An application specific integrated circuit includes a multiplicity of operative circuit blocks. Disposed in at least one of the blocks is a multiplicity of selectively operative heater modules for providing localised heating within the block. The heater modules may comprise cyclic redundancy code generators each coupled to respond to a system clock, and each heater module may include a system clock divider providing a multiplicity of differently divided clock signals and means for selecting a clock signal for use by the module. The invention is useful in design variable testing to produce variation with temperature of the frequency of an intermittent timing error.
