    Patent number: 5544329
    Abstract: This invention generally relates to data management in a data processing and communication station that acts as an interface station between a central or control terminal and a subsystem. The interface station is adapted to receive messages from and to transmit messages to a control station as well as to receive data from and to transmit data to a subsystem. The interface station comprises a memory unit with multiple map locations having an associated descriptor field including a set of one or more flags. The control station transmits messages to the interface station whereby each of the messages is associated with one of the map locations in the memory unit. The interface station checks the states of the flags in the descriptor field of the associated map location and responds to the message based on the states of the flags.
