Abstract
Between two nodes, data in the form of two different signals are transmitted bidirectionally, in accordance with IEEE1394 through one optical fiber cable. At the time of data transmission, data of two different signals is converted to data of one type of signal at one node, and transmitted to the optical fiber cable, and at the other node, the data received from the optical fiber cable is converted to the original data of two different signals, and transmitted to a subsequent processing circuit in accordance with IEEE1394. At this time, in a transmission sequence for requesting and granting priority of transmission over the optical fiber cable between both nodes, the priority of transmission is granted alternately to both nodes.
