The reference table collates the station number of the telephone registered in correspondence with a personal telephone number with the subscriber loop address at which the particular telephone is being connected, and when a call for connection is made under the personal telephone number, the connection is made to the telephone by referring to the reference table, calling the loop address at which the telephone registered under the personal telephone number is currently connected, and connecting the call under control to the telephone registered under the particular personal telephone number. The station numbers are allocated to telephones respectively in the order of manufacture or distribution in accordance with a certain rule to avoid duplication.
