Abstract
A telecommunication system (10) having a single automatic call distributor (12) with a multiport switch (14) controlled by a central control processing unit (16) and an associated memory (18) for selectively interconnecting telephonic calls between external telephonic units (20) of an external telephonic network (24) and internal telephonic units (26A, 26B, 26C, 26D) coupled with the multiport switch (14) with a multilink host computer call control interface system (25) having a plurality of host computers (32A, 32B, 32C, 32D) coupled to the automatic call distributor and logical link interfaces (36A, 36B, 36C, 36D) each having a pair of physical link lines (38A, 38B, 38C, 38D) which correspond to an associated host computer (32A, 32B, 32C, 32D) to enable communication between the single automatic call distributor (12) and the plurality of host computers (32A, 32B, 32C, 32D) to provide the host computers with control of call handling operations performed at the automatic call distributor (12).
