Title:
CROSS CONNECTION ELEMENT AND DATA TRANSMISSION NETWORK
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1999001008
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
This invention relates to a cross connection element which comprises at least one input, output and branching means for forwarding through predetermined outputs at least some signal components of a first serial data signal received through the input. To provide such a cross connection element that considerably facilitates the management of the data transmission network, the branching means comprise means for transparently forwarding single signal components of a serial data signal received through said input, as serial data signals through the output indicated by the routing data stored in the memory means of the cross connection element. In addition, the cross connection element comprises at least one output for transparently forwarding a single signal component of a first serial data signal indicated by the routing data stored in the memory means.
