Abstract
A telecommunications system has identical access terminal shelves and an intershelf bus interconnecting each shelf. Each access terminal shelf has transmission card slots constructed to accept different types of transmission cards that use different types of transmission media to communicate with remote telecommunications equipment and a processor programmed to determine whether transmissions from the remote telecommunications equipment are to be transferred to the intershelf bus for connection completion.
