  • Patent number: 5132832
    Abstract: A concentrator for a token ring network utilizes latching relays having separate set and reset coils for controlling the insertion/bypass of the ports into the token ring network. Circuitry for providing a global reset capability for all of the ports includes transistors which function to both provide a path for the global reset pulse to the reset coils and to isolate each reset coil in a port from the reset coils of the other ports. Other circuitry is provided for preventing activation of the global reset function from affecting an active port.
