ABSTRACT:
A star configuration network system eliminating the need for reassigning addresses to the nodes constituting the system when any of the nodes is removed or relocated. The system comprises a first and a second node, a data processor and a controller. The first node has a plurality of connected terminals and offers a signal switching function. The second node offers a signal transmitting function and a signal receiving function and is connected to the first node. The data processor transmits and receives packet data between the first and the second nodes. The controller assigns addresses to all of the connected terminals of the first node. Each of the nodes of the network system is assigned a predetermined address common to all the nodes. The address of a connected terminal of one node as viewed from a connected terminal of the other node is represented by the address assigned by the controller to the connected terminal of that one node and by a connecting relationship between the two connected nodes, whereby the system transmits and receives packets of data between the two connected terminals.
