Abstract
This disclosure depicts a multi-function bus for use with a central processor system, user devices having user interfaces and a host switching interface unit. The multi-function bus has a first pre-determined number of transmit and receive lines connecting the central processing system, the user interfaces and the host interfacing unit. A second pre-determined number of channels on each of the transmit and receive lines is provided for on the multi-function bus. A multi-function bus includes the transfer of information to and from the host switching system both in a serial mode and in a parallel mode on the multi-function bus.
