A communication system testing method for testing a communication unit including a communication line and components of a communication unit such as a terminal unit. In addition, a control apparatus includes pause control means and control means, both of which are incorporated in an integrated communication control circuit. When the integrated communication control circuit is in the pause state, the pause control means outputs a pause permission indicating signal and detecting signal. The control means discontinues the supply of the main-clock signal by outputting the detecting signal, thereby limiting energy consumption.

Communication system testing method

A data transfer device is disclosed whereby both spoken conversation and transfer of data can easily and conveniently be carried out with a minimum of manual steps and repetitions operations. The disclosed device includes first telephone number memory for storing a telephone number of a remote communication node when the data transfer device originates a communication session; second telephone number memory for storing a telephone number of the remote communication node when the remote communication node originates the communication session; start command generating circuit for generating a start command; and data transfer circuit for transferring data. The above mentioned data transfer circuit is such that when the start command generating circuit generates a start command and the data transfer device has originated the communication session, the data transfer circuit initiates a connection over a channel for transmission of digital data between the data transfer device and the remote node corresponding to the telephone number stored in the first telephone number memory, and when the start command generating circuit generates a start command and the remote node has originated the communication session, the data transfer circuit Initiates a connection over a channel for transmission of digital data between the data transfer device and the remote node corresponding to the telephone number stored in the second telephone number memory.

Data transfer device

In a digital network system, such as ISDN (Integrated Service Digital Network) system, a data link is established between transmit-side and receive-side stations so that a data transfer is performed onto a public telephone line in accordance with a predetermined protocol. The transmit-side station compresses data read from a storage medium and then transfers compressed data to the receive-side station, while the receive-side station expands the compressed data and then writes it into a storage medium. Before transferring the compressed data, the transmit-side station transmits a data transfer request to the receive-side station, so that if the receive-side station is now ready to receive the compressed data, the transmit-side station transfers the compressed data to the receive-side station. On the other hand, when completing a data transfer, the transmit-side station transmits an end request of data transfer to the receive-side station, so that if the receive-side station is now in a state to respond to a data transfer completion, the data link formed between the transmit-side and receive-side stations is terminated. Herein, the whole storage area of the storage medium is divided into plural storage blocks, so that the data transfer is performed with respect to each storage block. Preferably, the storage medium is a floppy disk, so that each storage block corresponds to each track formed on the floppy disk.

Data transfer system and method

Communication-control equipment having data-processor, primary storage for storing process data of the data-processor, secondary storage for storing DMA data as well as the process data, and DMA bus for transferring only the DMA data communicated between the secondary storage and a transmission or receiving buffer. The data-processor can communicate with the primary storage during DMA data transfer, because the DMA data are transferred through the DMA bus and so the address bus and data bus connecting data-processor and the primary storage are available during the DMA transfer.

Apparatus with multiple buses for permitting concurrent access to a

A data transmitting equipment transmitting data between a desired remote equipment connected via communication line, comprising password setting means, communication control means and status display means. The password set by a user is stored in the password setting means. Transmission control means compare said password with a set password in a remote equipment, allow said data transmitting of said data if both passwords are consistent, delete said set password when said transmitting ended. If the password of the password setting means is not deleted, status display means show that said password remains in the password setting means. According to the above mentioned present invention the password is automatically deleted after the end of the data transmission, and moreover the set password is never displayed during or after use. Accordingly, an exposure of the password to a third party is prevented. Because the status of whether or not a password was set is displayed, as the need arises the user may reset the password as described above. Though the set password itself is not displayed, this is no impediment for the setting operation of the password.
