First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system having data communication capability in at least two operating modes, each of which corresponds to a different data rate, comprising:
- a) a port in said system, capable of communicating in each of said at least two operating modes;
b) a control circuitry for controlling said dat communication through said port, the operation of said circuitry being switchable from any operating mode to another operating mode, according to a corresponding predetermined code received via said port;
c) at least a software operated computing device, linked to said port by a communication channel, for operating the port;
d) circuitry for storing data received via said port; and
e) circuitry for setting the control circuitry to normally operate in a predetermined default mode, and for switching said control circuitry from any mode to another mode.

Abstract
Method and system for providing data communication through a port of a system, the port having at least two operating modes, each of which corresponding to a different data rate. Communication with the system is enabled by operating the port in one of the operating modes. The system is switched to operate in another operating mode and the communication with the system is continued in the another operating mode, whenever a predetermined mode switching code is received through the port.
