<p>A method and arrangement for transferring data between nodes over a telephone cable that couples the nodes provides a dual configuration node transmitter, and a dual configuration node receiver. The dual configuration transmitter has a first transmitter circuit that transmits data over a first configuration of the telephone cable and a second transmitter that simultaneously transmits other data over a second configuration of the telephone cable. The dual configuration receiver is coupled to the telephone cable and has a first receiver circuit that selects the data transmitted by the first transmitter circuit and rejects the data transmitted by the second transmitter circuit, and a second receiver circuit that selects the data transmitted by the second transmitter circuit and rejects the data transmitted by the first transmitter circuit. The transmitting of data over two configurations of the same cable allows data to be transmitted twice as fast as over the same cable set up for transmission in a single configuration. Alternatively, in a Ethernet application, one configuration may carry the data while the other configuration simultaneously carries activity information.</p> |
