ABSTRACT:
In a check system for checking information indicative of connections in a multistage switching network comprising S stages of switching groups and a main control section for controlling the switching groups, the multistage switching network has a switching size of M by N (M.times.N) that is defined by M input lines and N output lines. Each of the switching groups comprises a plurality of switching sections each of which has a plurality of input terminals, a plurality of output terminals, a switching unit for use in connecting these terminals with each other, and a switch control unit for controlling the switching unit. The main control section comprises a memory unit which stores information indicative of connections between the individual switching sections. The main control section has a function of checking whether an output terminal having a specific number of a switching group in a C-th stage (C.ltoreq.(S-1)) can logically be connected to an input terminal having other specific number of a switching group in a (C+1)-th stage, in which the function checks for each connection path in terms of the information that is stored in the memory unit and is indicative of the connections.
