Abstract
To simplify the sending of signalling messages, a coupler of a switch is provided with an interpreter. The interpreter is capable of preparing the sending of a signalling message as soon as it receives an order of predetermined syntax. By acting in this way, the transmission of signalling messages is made transparent to the variety of protocols that might be used.
