<p>A method of operating a programmable telecommunication switch comprising controllable-switching means for dynamically connecting or disconnecting communication paths between various ones of a plurality of ports or channels in response to messages generated by a host device, the method comprising the steps of defining one or more protocols associated with the processing of incoming or outgoing calls, wherein each of the one or more call-associated protocols is represented by a finite state machine and configured to perform even processing, and further wherein different ones of the one or more protocols may be assigned to different ports or channels, detecting the occurrence of an event at one of the plurality of ports or channels, dynamically selecting one of the one or more call associated protocols for processing the occurring event, and performing the selected protocol to process the occurring event. <IMAGE></p> |
