Abstract
In response to a connection setup initiated by a time-division-multiplex-oriented component, an ATM-communications-network-specific destination information item is derived from a specified signaling information item, and an ATM switched connection is automatically set up in the ATM communications network. After a transparent transfer of signaling and useful information via the switched connection that has been set up, the ATM switched connection in question is released. This provides more efficient use of the ATM communications network.
