Traffic data are transmitted from the respective exchanges to the center without the exchange template data. When such a traffic datum is transmitted from a "data" originating exchange to the center, the central processor stores the traffic datum in a traffic data log file (17) according to the template data kept in the template data file for the data originating exchange. Preferably, the center comprises a table (32) for keeping a code upon completion of renewal of the center template data for the change originating exchange until the center template data are again updated for the exchange in question. With reference to the code, the centr…
