Abstract

A transmitter for a data communication system includes a self configuration register for storing information about the configuration of a local data communication port and a data input register for storing data received from the port to be transmitted and a multiplexer for multiplexing information stored in the self configuration register into configuration data packets and information stored in the data input register into message data packets and transmitting those data packets over an optical fiber. A receiver for a data communication system includes a demultiplexer, an-other configuration register and an output register. The demultiplexer receives data, demultiplexes it and stores it in the output register. The output register transmits information in configuration data packets to the other configuration register and information in message data packets to the local data port.
