ABSTRACT:
A switch controller for a dynamic switch responds to command from a using system to provide control signals to the dynamic switch which causes the switch to establish and breakdown paths between sources and destinations in the using system. The controller includes a plurality of command registers which are temporarily assigned to a command source for receiving command signals, decoding said signals and providing control signals to the switch for establishing or breaking down a switch path. The controller may if desired provide an echo to a selected destination so that proper execution of commands may be ascertained. After the commands are completed the control register is released for reassignment to another command source while an established switch path remains intact. Thus, commands may be received from any source for controlling the switch.
