Title:
SELF-SYNCHRONIZING HALF DUPLEX MATRIX SWITCH
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003019760
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A datalink for a system of N computers 110A-110N, and M monitors 110A-110M and peripheral devices 112A-112M is described. Separate state machines are provided for each switched computer, and separate state machines 101A-101N, 102A-102M for each switched workstation, with a non-intrusive matrix switch 401 disposed there-between. The matrix switch 401 routes the peripheral data streams without intercepting them with a processor. The computer-side state machines and the workstation-side state machines are in a master/slave relationship, respectively, and communicate peripheral data using a half-duplex method of transfer.
