Abstract
A telecommunication network has a plurality of tandem node switches interconnected by trunk circuits. A network control center controller mechanically administers internodal conference calls by storing data pertaining to a scheduled conference call. Prior to the scheduled time, the data is downloaded to the tandem node switches which set an internodal conference bridge. Participants in a conference call first dial a bridge access number and then a password which assures security.
