Abstract
System for processing signalling relating to user equipments for the core system of a telecommunication installation constructed around circuit mode units connecting user equipments, auxiliary units and/or control or processing equipments. Each unit has means for adapting the signalling information for said user equipments, auxiliary units or control or processing equipments connected for transmission of said signalling information internally in a standardized form which can be switched by the unit and means for preprocessing signalling information to the benefit of the microprocessor, the auxiliary unit or the control or processing equipment responsible for processing it.
Claims7
A system for processing signalling relating to user devices for a core system of a telecommunication installation,
- said core system containing a plurality of circuit mode units interconnected by a first group of point-to-point time-division multiplex links;
- each of said units including:
- control processing means, switching means, first interface means for connecting said user devices, auxiliary devices, and/or control or processing devices to the installation for transmission and switching of circuit mode information and signalling;
- and second interface means for said first group of point-to-point time-division multiplex links;
- each unit also including means for adapting signalling before transmission between said units;
- wherein each unit comprises a communication circuit including:
- said second interface means,
- input/output interface means connected to said first interface means by a second group of time-division multiplex links,
- switching means for switching information and signalling between said input/output interface means, said second interface means and said control processing means of said unit, and
- means for preprocessing signalling information transmitted to said unit's control processing means and to said control and processing devices.
