Abstract
A remote station for use in a data transmission system that includes a clock channel adapted to carry a periodic clock signal, a flag channel adapted to carry a flag signal, and a data channel adapted to carry a plurality of data signals between the remote station and at least one additional station is disclosed. The remote station includes a number of data terminals and circuitry for receiving the clock signal and the flag signal. The flag signal is stored in the remote station for only a selected interval comprising a selected number of periods of the clock signal. The remote station also includes circuitry for gating a number of data signals between the data channel and the data terminals during the selected period when the flag signal is stored in the remote station. At the termination of the selected interval, the flag signal is placed back on the flag channel.
