Abstract:
A method for reassigning channels during a transmission of isochronous data from an IEEE-1394 network to an external synchronous network, comprising the steps of:(a) forming a mapping table indicative of a relationship between channels of the IEEE-1394 network and channels of the external synchronous network when a call is set between the IEEE-1394 network and the external synchronous network; (b) reading a channel order of the IEEE-1394 network from a header of isochronous data to be transmitted from the IEEE-1394 network; (c) reassigning the channel order of the IEEE-1394 network according to a channel order of the external synchronous network with reference to the mapping table; and (d) transmitting the isochronous data to the external synchronous network according to the reassigned channel order.
