Abstract:
A method of controlling multiplexers and cross-connects on a telecommunications network to interconnect DS0 and/or wideband circuits is developed for a test range where a large number of circuits, perhaps several hundred. have to be reassigned every fifteen minutes. However, the method is sufficiently general to work for a variety of telecommunications networks. The method of the invention controls the OC-3 multiplexers and the cross-connects to connect a DS0 or DS1 from any feeder site on the range to a DS0 or DS1 at any other feeder site. In addition to the interconnection of DS0 and DS1 signals, the method includes the control needed to set up conference circuits, where many full duplex circuits (such as two-way voice circuits) are connected together; other one-to-many connections, and simplex circuits where a connection is one-way.
