ABSTRACT:
In a system comprising a collection of signal processing apparatuses and a switching device, each apparatus is connected, by means of a universal connector which is identical for each apparatus, to an arbitrary connection of the said switching device. The signal path between two or more connected apparatuses is established in that a first apparatus supplies a report command for the switching device in a least one further apparatus, after which the switching device finds out to which connector a further apparatus is connected in that said further apparatus in reaction to the report command has supplies an identification signal as a result of which the switching signal recognises the connector to which said further apparatus is connected. Once it has been found out to which connector the first and the further apparatuses have been connected, the switching signal establishes a signal path herebetween.
