Abstract
Logical access segments (ACC) related to communications terminals are installed and managed for each communications partner (KP) in A database (DB) of a communications system (KS), in particular an ATM communications system. An identification (ID) and information (vci, vpi, wi, tri, qi) representing physical resources (R) of the respective communications partner (KP), as well as allocated switching-oriented possibilities (s) is entered into each access segment (ACC). During a connection setup by a communications partner (KP), the information (vcpi, vci) representing the requested physical resources (R) is taken from the allocated logical access segment (ACC) and allocated to further segments (LUP, LCP, LINK) for the duration of the connection. Through the use of the logical access segments (ACC) in a switching procedure structure (CPS) of a communications system (KS), a separation of the switching procedures from the management and setting of the physical resources (R) related to the communications terminals is achieved. As a result a switching procedure structure (CPS) can be designed independently of the physical instances of a communications system (KS).
