A device (L) for transferring data between heterogeneous apparatuses (1, 2, 3 and 4) and one or more computers (18 and 19). An interface (20) is automatically configured by loading and executing specific protocol conversion programs and adapting the physical link on the basis of recognition of the connecting cable (5, 6, 7, 8, 16 or 17) between said interface and the computer(s) and apparatus(es) to be connected. The connecting cable is recognised by entering a key (k5, k6, k7, k8, k16 or k17) in said cable in the form of one or more electrical or electronic components providing non-ambiguous identification of the cable.
