ABSTRACT:
An information system comprises an information network and a station apparatus capable of receiving information from the network and sending a command to the network. An isolator comprises a first diplex filter having an input/output (I/O) port coupled to the network for passing signals with frequencies in first and second non-overlapping ranges. An output port is provided for signals with frequencies in the first range, and an input port is provided for signals with frequencies in the second range. A second diplex filter has an I/O port coupled to the station apparatus for passing signals with frequencies in both the first and second ranges. An input port is provided for signals with frequencies in the first range, and an output port is provided for signals with frequencies in the second range. A first circuit having a bandwidth including the first range provides a first signal path between the output port of the first diplex filter and the input port of the second diplex filter. A second circuit having a bandwidth including the second range provides a second signal path between the output port of the second diplex filter and the input port of the first diplex filter. The second signal path includes a switch. A third circuit senses a signal in the second range. The third circuit is coupled to a control port of the first switch for operating the first switch in response to the sensed signal in the second range from the second diplexer I/O port to open the signal path from the second diplexer I/O port to the first diplexer I/O port.
