PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To send a transmission frame sequentially when lots of data are divided into plural transmission frames and sent to a terminal equipment of other network. SOLUTION: The connector is provided with a transmission history memory 10 storing the destination address of a transmission destination terminal equipment, the transmission source address of a sender terminal equipment in pairs and its communication channel to its storage area and an address pair [DA0 , SA0 ] of a transmission frame received from a transmission line 2a is detected. The storage area storing the detected address pair is detected from the transmission history memory 10. Furthermore, a communication channel 5 stored in the detected storage area is designated as a transmission channel of the received transmission frame. When no storage area is detected, a communication channel to send the transmission frame is designated separately and the detected address pair and the designated communication channel are written in a new storage area of the transmission history memory 10.
