Abstract

A method of controlling a store-and-forward switching system comprising a store-and-forward switching central unit and a plurality of terminal units comprising the steps of detecting a call from a terminal unit through a communication control unit for controlling communication between the central unit and the terminal units, inputting a request for a normal-priotity multi-destination delivery communication service from a terminal unit, reading a service attribute table from an external storage unit and loading it into a memory, referring to the service attribute table on the memory to determine whether or not the normal-priotity multi-destination delivery communication service is granted to the terminal unit, determining that the normal-priotity multi-destination delivery communication service is granted to the terminal unit on the basis of a value of predetermined data in the service attribute table, performing pre-processing of protocol communication with the terminal unit through a communication control unit, receiving image data from the terminal unit via the communication control unit and storing it in said external storage unit, performing post-processing of said protocol communication through the communication control unit to disconnect a line, and writing latest communication results into a predetermined area of a memory and then terminating a series of processing steps.
