Abstract
In a cross connect apparatus, a switch section includes a plurality of switches and having n input terminals and m output terminals. A control section reads a current connection information indicative of a current connection state of the switch section in response to a connection command, and determines based on the read connection information, whether it is allowed to establish a connection state of the switch section designated by the connection command. When it is determined to be allowed, the control section establishes a new connection state of the switch section designated by the connection command.
