ABSTRACT:
An on-line information processing system which includes a host computer, terminals and a local area network between the computer and the terminals. The host computer includes an on-line program unit for storing an on-line control program and a data link control unit for controlling establishment of a plurality of data links in the network in compliance with host connection requests produced by the computer for selected ones of the terminals and local connection requests produced by some of the terminals. A data link address administrating table is used separately from the program unit and includes communication control areas, equal in number to the above-mentioned plurality of data links, for storing predetermined information and counterpart data link addresses specified by the host and the local connection requests, for references by the control unit, between the points of time for the establishment and subsequent disconnection of the data links. In addition to a memory area for the predetermined information, each of the control areas preferably has an address field for the link addresses and more preferably a data link state field. The control unit shares reference to the control areas for common use and for exclusive use in connection with all of the data links.
