C3 is connected to CODEC 6 via a high-speed digital dedicated line and MUXs 4 and 5. DEC of CODEC6
On the 13th side, the P with the identification signal inserted by GEN15 is inserted.
The CM audio signal is always output to TLS7. P
Upon receiving the selection signal, which is an inter-station signal of the B signal format, the TLS 7
Is in the relay exchange state, the DET 19 on the COD 17 side of the CODEC 6 detects the identification signal. This is the DE in FIG.
Although this corresponds to the point T, the PB 20 inhibits the operation of the GEN 15 and the DET 19 inhibits the switching operation of the SELs 14 and 16. Therefore, the PB signal, which is the selection signal, is transmitted to the LS 10 of the next station without interruption. When the PB signal is no longer detected, the PB 20 resumes the insertion and detection of the identification signal into the PCM audio signal, which has been prohibited, so that the DET 19 switches the SEL 14 to the CONV 12 (at the time of the SEL in FIG. 3).
