According to the invention, the system further comprises multiple external links, each for linking a computer unit to an interface unit. The system further comprises an interconnecting device for receiving messages from sending computer units and forwarding them to receiving computer units one sent message at a time.

System and method for maintaining message synchronism during transmission of internal messages

Method and system for automatically configuring supervision and performing supervision in a supervision system comprising a supervision center; and a supervision block which contains processes performing supervision tasks. The supervision system is preferably a telephone switching system. In the method, the supervision block performing supervision functions is monitored and/or controlled via the supervision center. Furthermore, the objects monitored by a supervision block process performing supervision tasks are automatically registered in the supervision center as the supervision block processes become ready for operation, and information about the supervision block processes and/or about the services produced by them and/or about the objects being monitored is stored in the supervision center.
