ABSTRACT:
Stations in a sequence accepting a vector from preceding stations in the sequence communicate data packets to other stations in the sequence. Each station receiving the vector is spliced out of the sequence by communicating such a desire or by failing to respond to the preceding station, which then provides for the passing of the vector to the station following the next station. Alternatively, an individual station (not in the sequence) between the communicating and next stations can be spliced into the sequence by communicating to all stations such a desire before any response from the next station. Some or all stations may be either in a performance mode higher than a set-up mode. And if in the performance mode may initiate the operation of the performance mode sequence when the other stations are in the set-up mode. During start-up, a first station identifies itself by a communication to the other stations and a special communication in the sequence which progressively patches the other stations into the sequence.
