Abstract
System configuration data required for use by various interfaces (102) can be obtained either directly via a data link (104) that couples the interfaces to other systems (109 or 111), or by a down link from a system data manager (106) configured as part of the interfaces' system (100).
Claims19
A communication system comprising:
- A) a plurality of audio source and destination consoles;
- B) a data communication link;
- C) a plurality of interfaces, wherein each console couples to a unique one of the interfaces, and each of the interfaces couples to the data communication link, and further wherein each of the interfaces includes memory means for storing system configuration data regarding the communication system, and data content indicator information for other communication systems;
- D) system data manager means coupled to the data communication link for storing:
- system configuration data regarding the communication system;
- and
- data content indicators for other communication systems;
- and
- for determining a data content indicator for the communication system.

- a plurality of interfaces, wherein each console couples to a unique one of the interfaces, and each of the interfaces couples to the data communication link, and further wherein each of the interfaces includes memory means for storing system configuration data regarding the communication system, and data content indicator information for other communication systems;
- and
- system data manager means coupled to the data communication link for storing:
- system configuration data regarding the communication system;
- and
- data content indicators for other communication systems;
- and for determining a data content indicator for the communication system, a method comprising the steps of:
- at the system data manager means:
- A) transmitting the data content indicator for the communication system to the other communication systems;
- B) receiving a request from at least one system data manager means of another communication system to transmit the system configuration data regarding the communication system;
- C) transmitting the system configuration data regarding the communication system to the at least one system data manager means of another communication system.
