No. 1 EAX Switching Plan and Network

Suitability of a switching system to solve wide and diverse application problems as well as the general case, is largely determined by its switching plan. In No. 1 EAX, the strategy of the plan is to establish a flexibility in internal network trunking that allows separation of traffic by type, directional flow, and intensity. The three major network divisions-line, selector, and trunk registerare sectionalized accordingly and are positioned relative to each other so as to avoid wasted motion in setting a call to completion. Control, supervision, and maintenance of the network are arranged to better utilize machine capacity by relieving the processor of high volume routine jobs.
