“Connection controller for setting-up a media path between a terminal and an audio source” describes a controller suitable for use in a private branch exchange (PBX). It searches a directory of audio sources to identify one that can provide the information requested by a user at a known terminal. The controller then generates and directs signals to establish a media path between the selected source and the terminal.

“Method and apparatus allowing remote key system units to interoperate” describes a key system unit with an interface for local terminals and a control unit that routes user data toward a selected destination. A registry stores status information about both the local unit and at least one remote unit. This information can be displayed at a local terminal, helping users view the functional status of both systems.
