A data transmitting apparatus corresponding to one of data transmitting apparatuses constituting a network. The data transmitting apparatus comprises a connection section, a signal receiving section, a transmission right acquisition section, and a signal transmitting section. The connection section is connected to a communication system including a terminal which operates in accordance with a protocol to transmit no signals while signals are transmitted through a data transmission path, to stop transmitting signals if the signals transmitted collide with other signals in the data transmission path, and to transmit the signals again after a period for preventing collision of signals has elapsed. The signal receiving section receives signals transmitted from the terminal or any one of the other data transmitting apparatus, the signals transmitted from the data transmitting path in a data format that accords with the protocol. The transmission right acquisition section determines whether any one of the other data transmitting apparatuses holds transmission right for a prescribed period, from information representing an order in which the other data transmitting apparatuses should acquire the transmission right. The signal transmitting section transmits signals to the data transmission path in the data format that accords with the protocol, no -112- matter whether signals exist in the data transmitting path when the transmission right acquisition section determines that the data transmitting apparatus has the transmission right, and without adjusting transmission timing when signals collide in the data transmission path, in order to prevent the signals to collide again in the data transmission path.
