Abstract
A switching system for a telecommunications network, including a switching matrix, a transport interface for receiving signals from a plurality of I/O ports, the signals being arranged in channels of at least a first and a second format, a plurality of cross-connections for switching the signals between the I/O ports via the switching matrix; and a server operatively associated with the switching matrix and including format exchanging circuitry operable to receive a signal arranged in the first format and to rearrange the signal into the second format, thus producing a converted signal, and to transmit the converted signal to the switching matrix for eventual output.
