Abstract
When setting (changing) a reception mode in a receiving unit, a CPUissues a reception mode command to the receiving unit. Having received the command, a serial interfacewrites the command to a command buffer. A protocol controlleranalyzes the command which has been written to the command bufferto determine whether the reception mode is a FIX mode or an UNFIX mode, and writes a corresponding status (a device ID, unique ID, mode, etc.) to a status memory. Then, when data is received from a transmission unit, the receiving unitrefers to the status which has been written to determine whether or not the received data is from a transmission system which has been set.
