Abstract

Abstract A central marker, connected to a PABX, supervises the busy condition of trunk junctors and external registers. If, in an internal register, a call for a trunk line has been detected and all the external registers are busy, but at least one trunk junctor is available, the marker restores the time control of the internal register. As soon thereafter as an external register becomes available, the marker is requested again and the trunk connection is initiated.
