ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a system and method for controlling the cross connect field of a multi-locational switched network from a single location under control of instructions from the end users. The different crossconnect fields of the entire switched network are controlled in response to instructions received by the controller from each end user. The instructions specify the period of time when the end user desires to establish certain connections through the network and also specify the band-width required during that period of time. The controller preassigns certain channels of the internetwork links and at the designated time period the connections are established. The system is designed to provide cost accounting and auditing information pertaining to the reserved time for each end user on a link by link basis as well as for the time during which the links were actually used for communication.
