Abstract
Disclosed is a transfer device within a telecommunications network capable of transferring control information at high speed without reducing main signal through-put and also capable of greatly reducing the processing burden on the control center while avoiding high physical cost and power consumption. Trouble and control information in a communication signal are detected at an incoming section, notification thereof is sent to an outgoing section and the relevant control information is inserted into the communication signal at the outgoing section. Furthermore, notification destinations of trouble and control information are stored based on the switching mode of the communication signal and notifications of trouble and control information are sent directly to the destined outgoing section without being switched. Moreover, signals are sent by multi-master mode or by Ethernet 10 Base-2.
