Abstract

A method and circuit arrangement for establishing telecommunication links in a communication network between subscriber stations connected to this network and/or separate networks. In order to establish telecommunication links in a communication network (KN), in particular a public switched network, between subscriber stations which belong to different subscriber groups (A1, A2; B1, B2, B3) of at least one subscriber grouping, and/or from or to separate networks (external networks) via separate terminating devices (T1, T2, T3) individual markers supplied by the subscriber stations concerned and/or via the separate networks and/or dialing information which takes into account only the own numbering plan in each case are used in the terminating devices (T1, T2, T3).

Claims

1. A method for establishing telecommunication links in a communication network in particular a public switched network or system, between subscriber stations which belong to different subscriber groups of at least one subscriber grouping, and/or from or to separate networks (external networks) of at least one network grouping, the subscriber groups concerned and the separate networks being connected via separate terminating equipment to the aforementioned communication network in which subscriber stations of the subscriber groups concerned and the separate networks concerned are connected via communication path separated from normal communication paths,

characterized in that telecommunication links are established from the separate terminating devices (T1, T2, T3) in the aforementioned communication network (KN) between subscriber stations which belong to the subscriber groups (A1, A2;

B1, B2, B3) connected to the aforementioned terminating devices (T1, T2, T3), and/or from or to the aforementioned separate networks solely in accordance with markers individually identifying the subscriber groups concerned (A1, A2;

B1, B2, B3) and/or the aforementioned separate networks.

2. The method according to claim 1, characterized in that outgoing call requests from the respective subscriber group (A1, A2;

B1, B2, B3) and/or the respective separate network to another subscriber group of the same subscriber grouping and/or to another separate network of the respective network grouping are recognized in the terminating devices (T1, T2, T3) in each case by means of a group or grouping code also supplied in the course of establishing the respective call.

3. The method according to claim 1, characterized in that dialing information concerning the communication link to be established in each case and supplied to the respective terminating device (T1, T2, T3) from subscriber stations of the aforementioned subscriber groups (B1, B2, B3) and/or from the separate networks is considered in accordance solely with the numbering plan of the subscriber grouping comprising the subscriber groups concerned (B1, B2, B3) and/or in accordance solely with the numbering plan of the network grouping comprising the respective separate networks.

4. A circuit arrangement wherein subscriber groups (A1, A2;

B1, B2, B3), each comprising a number of subscriber stations, of at least one subscriber grouping and/or separate networks (external networks) of at least one network grouping are connected by means of separate terminating devices (T1, T2, T3) to a communication network (KN), in particular a public switched network or system, characterized in that in the terminating devices concerned (T1, T2, T3) marker or dialing information recognition and connection control devices (D1, D2, D3;

R1, R2, R3) are provided which, using the marker and/or dialing information supplied by subscriber stations of the subscriber groups concerned (A1, A2;

B1, B2, B3) and/or via the respective separate network relating to at least one subscriber station of another subscriber group of the same subscriber grouping or to an additional separate network of the respective network grouping connected to the communication network concerned (KN), each designate a connection path, defined solely thereby, within the aforementioned communication network (KN) for the communication link to be established in each case and which can be set up in the aforementioned communication network.

5. A circuit arrangement according to claim 4 characterized in that the marker or dialing information recognition and connection control devices (D1, D2, D3;

R1, R2, R3) have memory tables in which control information indicating defined connection paths (C12, C23) in the aforementioned communication network (KN) is stored, which control information can be activated to recognize in each case defined markers or dialing information.
