PURPOSE: To simplify a digital exchange and to transmit control information at a high speed, by adding an identification code to voice and line control information and selecting either the voice information or the line control information read out from a control memory based on the identification code.
CONSTITUTION: The line control information (d) transmitted from the central controller CC to each subscriber circuit LC is stored in a prescribed address L of a control memory CM. Each address of the memory CM is provided with an area storing the identification code (i) in addition to the areas storing the readout address of a channel memory SPM and the information (d). Further, a selecting circuit SEL3 is provided between the memory SPM and a selecting circuit SEL2, and the circuit SEL3 is controlled with the identification code (i) read out together with the read-out address and the information (d) from the memory CM. Then, the voice information read-out from the memory SPM and the line control information read-out from the memory CM are selected with the identification codes (d), (i), allowing to transmit the control information at high speed without reducing the allocated line.
