COMMUNICATION CONNECTION CONTROL SYSTEM

摘要

It is becoming increasingly popular for communication users to access a number of different computers, each running a different application program. These computers can be located locally or at remote locations and are thus accessible directly from the local PBX switch or via the public switching network. Under current dialing plans, the user must know the exact location of each application program in order to become connected therewith. There is disclosed a network controller (10) which contains the location and dialing plan (13) for each application accessible by each user. As programs are moved from location (3B5) to location (3B20), the information in the network controller is updated. Using this arrangement, a user need only communicate to the network controller the coded identity of the desired program, and the network controller thereupon establishes the desired connection and withdraws itself from the communication path.
