Means responsive to a received header determines the availability of an unconnected link and the not-busy condition of the desired receiving line, and connects a selected link from the transmitting line to the desired receiving line, whereby to permit the transfer of information. A link-activity checker operates automatically to disconnect a link when transmission of data through the link ceases.
