Abstract
The system of the invention is used in a communication controller comprising a central control unit connected to at least one line adapter through a bus, wherein the line adapter may not be attached through its line interface to communication lines working at a speed higher than v, this mechanism allowing the adapter to be connected to one communication line onto which information is transported in frames at a high speed HS which is higher than v. It comprises a receive mechanism and a transmit mechanism building a bypass booster 1. The receive mechanism constructs from the received bit stream on high speed line 6, a short frame only comprising the heading portions of the frames, said short frame being handled by the line scanner 2 and the complete frame being handled separatly in bypass booster 1. The transmit mechanism simulates the transmission from the system bus 5 of a short frame which is handled by the line scanner and the complete frame is handled in the bypass booster, from which the complete frame is sent on the high speed line 6.
