Method for automatic setting of the protocol between two data processing devices, e.g. a CPU and a data store, by testing a number of protocols between the two devices until a correct response is received to a request

摘要

Method has the following steps: provision of a number of protocols, provision of a request command for each protocol and a corresponding response, transmission of the request from a first data processing device (CPU) to a second (DS), transmission of the corresponding response, testing if the response is correct, setting of the protocol as the communications protocol if the response is correct. An independent claim is made for a device for automatic setting of a communications protocol between two communicating data processing devices.
