Abstract
A plurality of information processors are coupled by respective modems to a communication medium at points thereof. Transmission and reception of information signals among the modems are effected through a headed located at a predetermined point on the communication medium. A pilot signal generator is provided which sends out a pilot signal having a predetermined reference level through the headend to the communication medium. Each modem is arranged to properly adjust the gain of its transmitting amplifier according to a reception level of the pilot signal for an improvement of signal transmission quality and a reliable detection of a signal collision.
