Abstract
A device for attaching a host or network in data communications with a ring-topology network includes a plurality of contiguous stations which are independently attached in series to the ring-topology network. Each station has the ability to selectively receive data which is not received by the other stations in the device, and each station has the ability to coordinate its receipt of data with the other stations to insure that essentially all data is received by the device.
