Abstract

A method and circuit for simultaneously establishing communication links between a subscriber station connected to a switching center of a communication network via a single subscriber line and other subscriber stations connected to the same communication network wherein, the relevant subscriber line is operated as a multi-channel multiplex line, between the switching center and a translating device which is preferably provided at the transition to another communication network, especially the Internet, a multi-channel multiplex junction line, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, a number of individual junction lines exist, in the translating device, a demultiplexer/multiplexer which is used for the respective transition from a multiplex link to individual connections and conversely is located between the multiplex junction line and the individual junction lines.
