Abstract
A communication system ( ) comprises interfaces ( ) at communication channels ( , respectively), coupled to a controller ( ) by an address bus ( ) and multiplexer ( ). The interfaces ( ) receive data cells and provide status signals (e.g., clav) indicating, for example, cell availability, independently from interface addresses (ADDR) being present at the address bus ( ). The interfaces ( ) continuously send the status signals to the multiplexer ( ) which receives the interface address (ADDR) at a control input ( ) and forwards the status information of the currently addressed interface to the controller ( ).
