FLEXIBLE INTERFACE SYSTEM FOR INTERFACING DIFFERENT COMPLEMENTS OF PORT CIRCUITS TO A PCM TELEPHONY SWITCHING SYSTEM Abstract An interface system for port circuits of a distributed PCM telephony switching system enables different complements of port circuits (different numbers of line circuits or of trunk circuits or of digital circuits which handle multiple party conferences) to be connected into the PCM telephony switching system so as to meet different user requirements. The interface system handles the PCM data signals carrying voice (analog) and digital information. The interface system also handles control signals generated in the telephony processor and transfers the data between the port circuits and the highways of the PCM switching system in sequential time slots. The timing of the time slots, the allocation of the time slots to different data is selectable by manually, configurable, programmable, switching devices which set up codes and connections corresponding to the complement of port circuits which are to be interfaced with the PCM telephony switching system. These switching devices are implemented by programmable headers having conductive elements which may be left intact or severed. The same interface circuitry, but with different connections intact and severed in their programmable headers, is used to establish the timing and allocate time slots in accordance with the configuration of port circuits selected by the user of the telephony system, thereby opening the architecture of the telephony system to different port circuit arrangements while isolating the telephony system from the port circuits for safety and security of operation of the telephony system.
