Abstract
An exchange system which comprises a plurality of line setting processors and a line-setting-signal path management processor for connecting the line setting signal paths of lines to the plurality of line setting processors. Each of the line setting processors judges whether or not the associated line is activated. When a line setting processor determines that the line is activated, it informs the line-setting-signal path management processor of this fact. The line-setting-signal path management processor determines, on the basis of the loads of the line setting processors, a suitable one of the line setting processors to be connected to the line setting signal paths of the activated line, and connects the suitable line setting processor to the line setting signal paths. Communication of necessary data is carried out between the line-setting-signal path management processor and the plurality of line setting processors so that even when a new line setting processor is added in the system, a maintenance operator can avoid complicated load estimation.
