 | RLA 220.sub.1 converts the demodulated data packets into a IEEE 802.2 protocol data packets and forwards the data packets to the single user data unit 230.sub.1, which may be a data terminal, a work station, a personal computer, or some other type of data equipment. |
| The assignment of a channel at data service request and negotiation time and the release of that channel after the distribution of the requested data as described in the present invention is called dynamic channel assignment. |
| Each of the data service providers has a respective application program interface that is used by the present invention to pass channel assignment data from the bandwidth manager 240 over the narrow band connection to perform the RLA channel tuning as part of service negotiation process. |

| Data signals at various bit rates ranging from 2.4 Kb/s to 56 Kb/s are received from, and applied to, data terminal equipment such as CRT terminals, personal computers, etc., by way of the various access module ports. |
| In operation, data signals from the various pieces of data terminal equipment are routed from the associated cable 145 and connector 143 over a path which includes any desired number (including zero) of application modules and, at the end of the path, a predetermined data set, i.e., modem or DSU. |
| The latter include, for example, whether a particular data set is to use internal or external timing; the number of bits to be transferred per time slot occurrence (latency); whether the reversing of various EIA leads, referred to as "frogging," is desired; or whether the device is to be part of a digital bridge. |
