Abstract

The invention relates to a network subscriber station and to a method for operating a network subscriber station for a network of distributed stations, particularly a network of IEEE 1394 network subscriber stations, which are connected by means of a data bus. The network subscriber station comprises at least three memory areas for operation-dependent interface configuration data and pointer means, which comprise electronic pointers to the at least three memory areas, and driver means for handling electronic data in the at least three memory areas and for electronic data transfer between the at least three memory areas.
