ABSTRACT:
A computer local area network using the IEEE Token Ring Standard and Token Ring Adapters for connection to the physical layer and the backplane. The physical layer device and the MAC Device in the present invention are manufactured by different companies and belong to different chip sets. The MAC Device and the physical layer device are not designed to work with each other, and will not directly interface with each other. The present invention uses a programmable array logic (PAO) to modify signals between the physical layer device and the MAC Device so that proper operation can occur, especially with regard to the detection of valid data after frequency acquisition.
