Abstract

See full text

A dispatching console system (20) for handling communications transmissions includes a main processor (50) and a co-processor (52). The main processor (50) receives external console control commands which specify a desired settable (i.e., connect/disconnect) relationship between audio devices in communication with the console and issues main processor commands to the co-processor (52). The co-processor (52) controls a switching circuit (72) in an audio tower (24). The switching circuit (72) is a matrix of cross-point switches (220) which connects and disconnects selected communication devices. In addition to the main processor commands, desired settable relationships between audio devices can also be mandated by device activation input signals which are applied through the audio tower (24) to the co-processor (52).
