Abstract
A method of messaging in a communication system that operates in accordance with a standard protocol limited in the number of uniquely addressable remote terminals by a message frame that sequences the messages into a limited number of time slots includes redefining the message frame into a plurality of major frames. Each major frame includes at least one minor frame occupying a unique time slot to address a unique remote terminal. Messages are sequenced into the at least one minor frame. Each minor frame includes a set of time-division multiplexed messages. Each message in the set includes an address field identifying the address of a remote terminal and an additional message to each major frame encoding an output path. The output path encoded in each major frame and the unique time slot in the minor frame determines which remote terminal is addressed by the message.
