Abstract
A bridge for connecting an IEEE 802.3 local area network to an asynchronous time-division multiplex telecommunication network comprises a part implementing the functions of layer 2.1 of an asynchronous time-division multiplex telecommunication network transmission protocol and a part which is a conventional local area network interface implementing the functions of layer 1 of the local area network data transmission protocol. The circuit is applicable to the transmission of data between different local area networks.
