Abstract

Dans un réseau de communication doté d'un canal de signalisation central indépendant des canaux utiles (5a, 5b, 5), deux entrées pour des trajets de transmission d'un central de transit (3) sont reliées par une ligne de données (12). Grâce à un signal de commande sur le canal de signalisation central (6), un dispositif de commande (10) garantit la retransmission d'une liaison de la première entrée au premier abonné (7) et de la deuxième entrée au deuxième abonné (8). Les signalisations de terminal des liaisons vers les abonnés (7, 8) sont transmises en alternance.
