A circuit arrangement for multi-address switching operations of digital encoded signals between a calling data terminal and a variety of called data terminals operating with different data transmission procedures is adapted for use with an electronic data switching system and comprises at least two interface circuits having input/output converting networks. External input terminals of these interface circuits are adapted for connection with respective input/output units of the electronic data switching system for each type of data terminal. Internal input/output terminals are connected to a storage unit for storing a multi-address message, including data information to be transmitted and identification information of the called data terminals. A control unit is provided for controlling the input/output operations and transmitting the buffered data information separately and in sequence to each of the called data terminals one after another across the interface circuit assigned to the currently called type of data terminal and with the respective data transmission procedures.
