Abstract: A communication apparatus includes a signal termination unit that includes a point data management unit and performs reception processing by receiving a signal including an address code for identifying a plurality of remote signaling points, and a plurality of call processing units that perform call processing for the plurality of the remote signaling points, the point data management unit manages call-processing point data, and wherein the signal termination unit, upon receipt of the signal, extracts a code of the non-masked range of the address code having a wild card, and recognizes the call processing unit number corresponding to the extracted code of the non-masked range by referring to the call-processing point data, and transmits to the call processing unit having the recognized call processing unit number the corresponding address code describing all the bits of the code set in the masked range and the code set in the non-masked range.
