<p>In the case of a series of connectionless transactions starting from a target, a management agent of the target writes an own GUID into a log-in inducement register provided in a common memory via an IEEE1394 bus, so as to induce an initiator to log in. A controller of the initiator checks the log-in inducement register. In the case where the GUID is written in the log-in inducement register, the controller determines that it has received an inducement of log-in and sends a log-in packet to the target with a view to logging in the target. The management agent receives the log-in packet and sends a status packet, which represents a response of accepted log-in, to the initiator. This arrangement of the present invention enables the data transmission starting from the target by the series of connectionless transactions. <IMAGE></p> |
