Abstract
Upon opening traffic of a communication line passing a plurality of cross-connect devices (nodes), the cross-connect control information of each node input by the operator is input to be transmitted to each node via the network control device. In this case, redundancy of the network control information is avoided to reduce the control information amount. Since the sender and destination path names and the sender and destination leading time slot numbers between mutually opposing nodes are respectively the same, by a man-machine interface device, there are input the same information to respectively add the path name and the leading time slot number before and after respective node numbers. The cross-connection control information of all of nodes are transmitted to the network control device with a single network control information. In the network control device, the cross-connect control information per node is separated from the single network control information for re-construction.
