Abstract:
A method for a data transmission from a first ATM device controlling said data transmission to a second ATM device controlled by said data transmission via an ATM interface device having a control module, comprising:communicating, by said control module a first receiver status information for signaling free memory capacity of a memory of said ATM interface device to said first ATM device, activating a first memory control input of said memory by said first ATM device, and outputting said data to be communicated by said first ATM device onto a first data bus connecting said first ATM device to said memory, said activating a first memory control input end of outputting said data being performed when said first ATM device has data to be communicated to said second ATM device and said memory has free memory capacity; intermediately storing, by said memory, data received via said first data bus as long as of said first memory control input is activated; communicating a second receiver status information for signaling a readiness to receive data from said second ATM device to said control module; activating, by said control module, a second memory control input of said memory when data to be communicated to said second ATM device are intermediately stored in said memory; and outputting, by said memory, said intermediately stored data onto a second data bus that connects said memory to said second ATM device as long as said second memory control input is activated.
