Abstract: A computer system in which the configuration of a plurality of information processing modules, which are provided in at least first and second configuration points, may be automatically monitored and supervised, comprises a plurality of switching modules provided in a third configuration point, each switching module having a configuration point number and each of the information processing modules having an identification number; and a configuration monitoring center for at least monitoring the connecting conditions between the switching modules and the configuration monitoring center for supervision of the computer system. Timing signals are delivered from the configuration monitoring center to inquire about conditions in the information processing modules and switching modules. Status lines are provided for delivering response signals representing the conditions and identification numbers of the information processing modules and configuration point numbers of the switching modules in the first and second configuration points and third configuration point to the configuration monitoring center and status distribution lines are provided for transferring the response signals from the information processing modules in the first and second configuration points to the switching modules in the third configuration point. The switching modules in the third configuration point each include a response generator which is responsive to the timing signals for delivering a combination of response signals from the information processing modules in the first and second configuration points to the configuration monitoring center by way of the status lines.
