ABSTRACT:
In a LAN interconnecting apparatus having two transmitting and receiving sections connected to respective LANs, each of the transmitting and receiving sections can be set in either a first or a second operation mode by setting a register. The transmitting and receiving section copies and transfers relayed information frames in the first operation mode, but it does not in the second operation mode. The apparatus makes a unidirectional LAN interconnecting apparatus when one of the transmitting and receiving sections is set in the first operation mode and the other in the second operation mode, while it makes a bidirectional one when both of the transmitting and receiving sections are set in the first operation mode.
