Abstract
A switching system for controlling internal apparatuses provided within an exchange system includes a central controller and a switching module including a plurality of objective apparatuses, each objective apparatus including a control data end unit, controlled by the central controller based on DMA communication and SD/SCN signal. Further, the central controller includes a first processor access controller which transfers control data to the control data end unit, in order to check and control each of objective apparatus, based on the DMA communication and the SD/SCN signal. The switching module includes a second processor access controller which relays the control data transferred between the first processor access controller and a plurality of control data end units-based on the DMA communication and the SD/SCN signal. According to the present invention, it is possible to realize high speed data transfer and high reliability based on the DMA communication and the SD/SCN signal between the central controller and each objective apparatus.
