  • Patent number: 5414709
    Abstract: A station of a ring network includes (1) a circuit for generating a configuration signal for connecting the station into the network and (2) a load circuit coupled to the first node and ground for receiving a DC component of the configuration signal. The DC component of the configuration signal is transparent with respect to data transmission of the network. A decoupling capacitor is coupled to the first node and ground for bypassing an AC component of the configuration signal at the first node to ground such that only the DC component of the configuration signal is applied to the load circuit. The circuit for generating the configuration signal includes (1) a first switch coupled to a power supply and a second node and (2) a capacitor coupled to the second node and ground. A second switch is provided in the circuit that is connected between the first and second nodes.
