| 1. A system for providing in-band control for transmitting data from a local end to a remote end and for remote provisioning
of circuits, comprising
a plurality of storage devices at the local end,
a switching system executing:
a process for sorting incoming TDM data into the plurality of storage devices as a function of a destination associated with
respective TDM data,
a process for reading data from the storage devices according to a predetermined sequence, whereby data transmitted from the
local end is received at the remote end in a sequence representative of data destination, and
a process for monitoring incoming data and creating a connection table at the local end for storing information representative
of memory locations at the remote end being provisioned for storing data associated with a respective one of the destinations.
