  • Method of automatic communications recovery
    Patent number: 5379278
    Abstract: In a local area network system having redundant communication media and a plurality of nodes, each node is connected to the redundant communication media. Each node is capable of communicating with each other node in accordance with a predetermined protocol via the redundant communication media. Further, each node is capable of disconnecting from the redundant communication media when an error in communications is detected. A method of automatically reconnecting the node to the redundant communication media after the node disconnects from the redundant communication media comprises the following steps. When a faulty condition is detected, the node disconnects itself from the redundant communication media. Internal testing of the node is then performed. If the internal testing passes, the node attempts to reconnect itself to the redundant communication media.
