APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A MODULAR TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

The modular telecomunication system comprises a number of switching blocks connected in parallel by interconnecting lines. Each of the switching blocks includes a multiplicity of line terminators each adapted to be connected to a data terminal. In each switching block there are provided a central processing system for establishing comunication links associated with a respective call, a communications controller for controlling local data exchange between pairs of line terminators connected thereto across real channels, a virtual channel controller for controlling remote data exchange across virtual channels to different switching blocks.
