Abstract
A method of recovering from a transmission error in a station having first and second input-output ports which are respectively coupled to two other stations in a communication network includes the steps of: receiving on the first port, messages which are separated by idle characters and regenerating same on the second port; detecting the error during the receiving step; and responding to the detection of the error by (a) transmitting silence on both the first and second ports and (b) waiting for the receipt of silence on the ports, prior to passing any further messages through the station.
