A telecommunication system and method is disclosed for enabling an exchange (20) to automatically read the identification (or address) of an Interworking Equipment (IWU) (50) physical circuit (60) over the physical circuit itself (40). When an IWU is connected to the exchange over a physical circuit, the exchange detects the presence of the IWU when the physical circuit becomes synchronized. Thereafter, the exchange sends a request (85) for identification of the connection to the IWU over the physical circuit. The IWU responds with the identification (80), which is saved in a data record assigned to the physical circuit in the exchange. The exchange uses this identification when communicating with the IWU. |
