Centrally synchronized distributed switch

The present invention comprises a centrally synchronized distributed time-space-time switch fabric wherein connection memory page (CMP) selection information is communicated to remote devices without having to add any extra hardware to the system. The central processor only needs to communicate to the space switch device, and by writing to certain registers in the space switch the processor can control the CMP selection in each of the time switch devices. By providing the page selection information over the same signals that transfer data, these page selection signals do not have to be routed externally or controlled by the distributed software.
