ABSTRACT:
In a communication system network that includes a central controller that is operably coupled to a processing multiplexer switch, system configuration information may be transferred between the central controller and the processing multiplexer by establishing a communication link between the central controller and the processing multiplexer switch. Once the link is established, the central controller requests site interface configuration information from the processing multiplexer. The site interface information indicates the status of the interfaces and the type of site coupled to the interface. Once this has been relayed to the central controller, the central controller determines the particular type of site coupled to the site interface. If the site is of a first site type, the central controller assigns the link between the site and the site interface a unique link address. If, however, the site is of a second site type, the site informs the central controller of the unique link address and also the system features that are available at that site.
