ABSTRACT:
A processor equipment has an input highway connected to receive a multiplex signal from a number of peripheral devices such as multiplex units time division multiplxing telephone handsets. A counter is arranged to scan the devices for a processor interrupt signal and upon the occurrence of such a signal the counter is inhibited to enable the processor to take the appropriate action for the interrupting device, e.g. apply a dial tone. If one of the peripheral devices becomes faulty a store memorizes the fact that on a previous scan the device produced a non-valid interrupt signal and causes the address of a predetermined other peripheral device to be written into the counter at which scanning is to recommence.
