ABSTRACT:
A communications controller interface for emulating the previous system employing a plurality of line units in which data is transmitted and received. The interface includes a microprocessor-controlled interface control unit having an interface memory having a plurality of addressable storage locations. The interface memory is mapped by dividing it into a number of groups of locations corresponding to the number of communication lines with each group of locations being subdivided into further locations including a location for storage of receive data, a location for storage of transmit data, and a control location. There are a number of control elements each for generating a sequence of signals for different tasks to be performed by the interface control unit. These control elements are interconnected to the interface control unit and to the interface memory so that the multi-line communications unit is able to access different ones of the control locations for updating the status of the lines and further enabling the microprocessor-controlled interface control unit to transfer data to and from the transmit data and receive data locations of the lines in the predetermined sequence consistent with the status.
