A system for cross-connecting network elements of different types through a common universal media. In the system, a media conversion interface is electrically connected to a network element. This media conversion interface passively maps the connector and cable type of the network element to a universal connector type. This media conversion interface is electrically connected to a cross-connect module in a universal distribution frame. This electrical connection uses a universal cable group and universal connectors. This cross-connect module is connected to another cross-connect module, also in a universal distribution frame, using a universal cable group and universal connectors. This second cross-connect module is electrically connected to a second media conversion interface, using a universal cable group and universal connectors. This second media conversion interface is electrically connected to a second network element, and passively maps the connector and cable type of the second network element to the universal connector.

A method for translating control messages between a network manager and a router. The method includes intercepting an input command message intended for the router, where the router partitioned into a plurality of logical router partitions, and the input command message expressed in terms of logical router partitions. Each logical router partition expression of the input command message is translated into a physical router expression, and the input command message, including any translated expressions, is propagated toward the router.

In time division communication systems one conference technique is to have a processor combine those samples going to a particular station forming a conference having as many subcombinations as there are stations. This approach, while allowing individual station gain adjustment, suffers from its dependence upon a large number of logic operations for a given conference. A modification of this technique is disclosed which uses a distributed structure such that the individual station ports, under local memory and processor control, operate to combine selected time slot samples into a conference sum unique to the station. In this manner gain values may be assigned on an individual listener station basis while the logic processing for the conference is performed in parallel by the ports involved in the conference.

A signaling arrangement where all terminal configuration data is stored in a switching system, but where each user terminal responds to a message from the system, defining one of the user terminal buttons as the selected call appearance at the terminal, by operating in a functional signaling mode to communicate with the system using functional messages concerning a call at the selected call appearance. Idle and ringing preference methods for use in terminating calls and auto-drop and auto-hold alternatives for use when moving from one call appearance to another are disclosed as well as methods for holding or dropping calls. Implicit and explicit conferencing methods are also disclosed.

A time division communication system having peripheral devices controlled om a port circuit is arranged such that the port circuit may have assigned to it a variable number of time slots for any peripheral device associated therewith. Each port circuit has a microprocessor control device which is capable of controlling communication to or from the port circuit over the system time division bus or to and from the port circuit and the peripheral over a variable number of time slots, none of which are preassigned to the port circuit.

There is disclosed, for use in a digital communication system, a fault detector circuit operable for removing faulty stations from the system. The disclosed circuit uses a distributed bypass isolation technique and may be used with individual stations or with groups of stations. A multi-bit delay register is connected across each station or station group and the output of the delay register is compared with the output of the parallel stations. When differences in the compared bits are detected the parallel stations are immediately isolated from the system and the bits from the delay register are placed in the system to preserve synchronism. This arrangement has the advantage of allowing immediate corrective action to occur to protect the sanity of the system. In situations where the system is divided into a voice digital bus and a data digital bus different error techniques may be employed for each bus.

There is disclosed a digital loop circuit for controlling synchronization around a closed loop communication system. The control circuit is designed to automatically adjust the delay of the loop to maintain a constant frame bit length without regard to the number of stations connected into the loop. As stations are added or subtracted from the loop, the system operates to add or subtract delay as necessary. A FIFO register having a bit capacity equal to the frame size is inserted serially in the loop and a separate clock is used to control the input and the output of the FIFO register. If a unique frame bit is not received in the anticipated position the output FIFO clock skips one count per frame thereby adding delay to the loop. The loop control circuit operates for situations where the framing bit is on a separate channel and also when the framing bit is on the actual data channel.

A dual set of busses is used to provide close coupling between the data and voice services of the CS300 communication system. One of these busses is a time division multiplex bus arranged for communication between port access circuits, and the other bus is a packet-switched data processing bus used for interfacing both with the system peripherals and with the port access circuits. The port access circuits, as well as the faster peripheral circuits, can be connected to either or both busses thereby allowing for the efficient easy interchange of information.
