Abstract: The present invention provides a method and structure for allowing more than 16 nodes to be configured in a single SONET BLSR network by utilizing unused portions of the transport overhead of an STS-N frame to expand the node identification field from 4 bits to 8 bits, thereby allowing up to 256 nodes to be present on a single ring.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and apparatus for cross-connecting high-speed telecommunications signals at a cross-connect apparatus. The cross-connect apparatus can transmit the telecommunications signals from an input interface card to a cross-connect card, and from the cross-connect card to an output interface card without any synchronization information. Synchronization of the signals is accomplished with circuitry contained on the interface cards and the cross-connect card. The cross-connect apparatus also includes a control unit for managing the control and timing of the apparatus.
