Patent ID: 7382774

Claim:
A bankover connection system enabling two paired computer sets to electrically communicate via a single communication line, the bankover connection system comprising, in combination, first and second computer pairs, first and second bankover connectors, and a trunk line, the trunk line comprising first and second line ends, a trunk line length, and at least eight trunk line conductors, the trunk line conductors extending from the first line end to the second line end via the trunk line length, the first and second bankover connectors each comprising a trunk line interface, a computer interface, a connector casing, and at least eight bankover conductors, the bankover conductors extending from the computer interface to the trunk line interface via the connector casing, each computer interface comprising at least two computer ports, each trunk line interface comprising a trunk line port, four bankover conductors extending from each first computer port to each trunk line port and four bankover conductors extending from each second computer port to each trunk line port, the first and second computer pairs each having port communication means and message transmittal means, the port communication means of the first computer pair being electrically communicable with the first computer ports and the port communication means of the second computer pair being electrically communicable with the second computer ports, the first line end being electrically communicable with a first trunk line port, the second line end being electrically communicable with a second trunk line port, the port communication means, the bankover connectors, and the trunk line enabling electrical conductivity intermediate the message transmittal means, the bankover connector system thus enabling the first and second computer pairs to electrically communicate via the trunk line.
