### Structure

#### Hardware

The system comprises a number of printed board assemblies that are interconnected via different common serial busses.

All central control (processing) equipment is located on the CPU-D_ board, together with support functions that are needed in all variants of ASB 150 02.

Several boards with the appropriate interfaces are available to connect equipment (e.g. telephones, other telephone exchanges, computers, printers) to the system.

The functionality of each device board provides the possibility to have several types of interfaces, It is possible for example to mix telephone connections, V.24 ports and external tie lines on one board.

The regional processors report (on system start) to the central processor what types of boards are installed in the system, their positions and how many individual lines each board is equipped with, so that the central software "knows" the configuration of the installed system.

#### Software

The system software is structured in accordance with the hardware.

- A central program controls the telephone traffic's switching logic as well as operation & maintenance functions. The central program package is divided into a number of program blocks, each specialised for a certain task, e.g. extensions (telephones), external traffic (trunks), operation & maintenance, call metering. Each program block is divided into units with clearly defined functions within the block. Each program block administers its own data.
- A number of regional programs, one for each type of device board. The regional programs also consist of one or more program blocks with separated tasks and local data.

The program units communicate with one another by sending messages (signals). It is the central operating system's main task to distribute messages to the various parts of the system and to queue messages that are waiting to be executed.
