METHOD FOR MANAGING ON-LINE PVC BY USE OF SVC OF ATM NETWORK

摘要

A communication system for allocating a PVC to a user terminal connected through an ATM network interface to an ATM network includes: a PVC control server connected through an ATM interface to the ATM network; a switching system disposed in the ATM network for connecting the user terminal to the PVC control server through an SVC according to a virtual path identifier (VPI) and virtual channel identifier (VCI) generated by the user terminal; and an operator controlled workstation connected to the switching system for checking the state of the switching system, and for generating a signal in accordance with the acceptance or rejection of the user terminal's demand on the PVC. The latter signal is provided to the PVC control server upon receiving PVC demand data from the user terminal through the PVC control server, the acceptance or rejection signal being transferred through the SVC to the user terminal.
