Abstract: A telephone wiring terminal for use in an office building environment connects dedicated telephone lines and PBX or KEY telephone extensions to selected office jacks within an office building. The terminal comprises a customer programmable, electronic cross-connect device in the form of a wall mountable chassis-box with an internal non-volatile switch bank, an internal computer system controlling the switch bank, external telephone line connectors leading to and from the switch bank and external programming access to the computer system. The dedicated lines and extensions connect to one set of connectors while telephone lines leading to the jacks connect to a second set of connectors. Programming access may include a keypad and display on the front of the chassis-box, as well as com and modem ports on the chassis.
