Abstract: Incoming calls on a plurality of lines (L.sub.i) are distributed to a plurality of resources (R.sub.n) by a queuing and distribution system which associates with each of the possible resource/line combinations a so called "pleasure value" that indicates the desirability of making the line/resources connection according to predetermined criteria, such as waiting time, resource type, type of incoming call and other factors. The pleasure values are set up in a matrix which is scanned repetitively in order to determine the highest value and the runner up, and call connections are made on the basis of the outcome of the scanning process.

The switch unit includes front switches and back switches, respectively, equal in number to the input and output line interface circuits, and middle switches of 2M in number.

In accordance with the above structure, the diagnosis of a stand-by port connected to a stand-by interface element included in each of the input and output line interface circuits can be carried out, even if all working input and output ports connected to the interface elements are occupied for operation.

Abstract: In a one-sided crosspoint switch, multiple controllers are used instead of a single controller for control of the switching matrix. The controllers operate in parallel, thereby handling requests for connections and disconnections from ports at a higher speed than with a single controller. In the event of a controller failure, the remaining controllers also take over the control function of the failed controller, thereby providing improved reliability.

Abstract: A crossconnect system utilizes a computer accessed matrix of crosspoints formed by a set of parallel conductors oriented perpendicular to a second set of parallel conductors with the sets lying in parallel planes. The crosspoints form open contacts which can be closed by stepper motor driven spring contacts to connect selected conductors from one set with selected conductors from the other set. A microprocessor system drives the stepper motor and implements movement of the spring contacts to the selected crosspoints.

Abstract: A method of providing equal access to a number of long distance carriers in local telephone company office containing No. 5 crossbar switching machines. Calls are intercepted between the line link frame and the originating registers. If the call is a long distance call, a serial number which resembles a conventional phone call is inserted in the calls place. The called number is stored and the appropriate carrier is determined by locating the calling party's pre-selected carrier choice in telephone company records. When the call identified by the serial number exits the switch it is automatically routed to the correct long distance carrier.
