Title:
DATA TRANSMISSION METHOD, SYSTEM, AND APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3783960
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a data transmission method, data transmission system, and data transmission apparatus, in which power consumption of the entire system is reduced when operating only partial connection apparatuses connected to the data transmission system.
SOLUTION: In a physical layer of each data transmission apparatus 1, a physical layer initialization process is performed in response to a reset exit process performed by their respective CPUs 4. Then, in link layers of data transmission apparatuses 1 which operate in master and normal modes, after the completion of a physical layer initialization process, a link layer initialization process is performed in response to a reset exit process performed by their respective CPUs 4, and then the data transmission apparatuses 1 start data communication using their respective physical layers and link layers. On the other hand, a link layer of a data transmission apparatus 1 which operates in a bypass mode maintains its reset state, and the data transmission apparatus 1 transmits data using only its own physical layer by bypassing its own link layer.
