Abstract
An apparatus and a method are provided for switching an information signal from a selected input to a selected output of a telecommunications switch.

The method further includes the steps of capturing the sampled information signal at a second station of the circulating data loop and transferring the captured information signal to the selected output of the telecommunications switch.
