Abstract
In a communications network, a first address information is transmitted from a first communication terminal equipment to a first switching node for setting up a communication connection, whereby first identification features are contained in the first address information. The first switching node interprets the first address information with the first identification features and derives a second address information for addressing a first address converter therefrom. At least parts of the first identification features are communicated to the first address converter. Second identification features are generated from the first identification features, said second identification features serving the purpose of addressing a second switching node. The communication connection between the first and second switching node is set up with the second identification features.
