Patent ID: 8036084

Claim:
A standalone duplication system with network connection comprising: a casing; multiple recording devices installed in the casing for loading, unloading and recording recordable medium; a control module mounted in the casing, electrically connected to the recording devices and controlling the recording devices to record data onto the recordable medium; a storage device mounted in the casing, electrically connected to the control module and storing data to be accessed by the control module to record onto the recordable medium; a network module mounted in the casing, storing a data transfer process and adapted to connect to a network, wherein the data transfer process controls data received by the network module to be stored in the storage device after the network module has received a data transfer command over the network; a bridge unit connected between the control module, the storage device and the network module, and storing a switch control process, wherein the switch control process provides the control module with high priority to access the storage device and permits the network module to connect to the storage device when the control module releases access right to the storage device; and a control panel mounted on the casing and electrically connected to the control module to produce an interrupt command, wherein the control module releases the access right to the storage device upon reception of the interrupt command.
