Abstract

In a system of transceivers which can automatically operate either in calling or called modes, the identification codes of the calling and called transceivers are transmitted back and forth between them and compared in a manner which tends to minimize erroneous connections and to confirm only correct connections prior to starting the actual transmission of data between the transceivers.
