A gateway adapter for a circuit switched PBX system to allow the PBX system to interoperate with a packet switched network containing a remote services unit. The gateway adapter includes a PBX interface for communicating with the PBX system, a network interface for communicating with the packet switched network and an interoperation functional unit to effect manipulation on data received by the two interfaces to allow the PBX system and the packet switched network to interoperate. One example of interoperation is to perform call processing functions on call sessions through the PBX system at a remote network services unit residing in the packet switched network.

A technique for performing a time slot interchange in a processor. The TSI process is surrounded by a multiplexing/demultiplexing circuit for converting a plurality of PCM highways into a single input serial data stream. The mux/demux circuit includes elastic stores to align frames and shift resisters to mux/demux with a minimum of delay. The TSI processor includes an input and an output buffered series port, a pair of input buffers, one to receive even-numbered frames from the PCM highways and one to receive odd-numbered frames, and an output buffer. Data is read from the appropriate input buffer in a non-sequential fashion as commanded by the processor in accordance with information stored in connection arrays (address buffers). The data is then written to the output buffer sequentially. The timing of the reading and writing steps is optimized relative to free running buffered serial port pointers for each BSP to reduce the frame delay.

A method of adding a new connection (c, d) to a time:space:time switch fabric. The fabric has a set I of k input elements, a set M of m switch elements, and a set O of l output elements. Each input element contributes one input to each switch element, and each output element receives one output from each switch element. A state Sm characterizes the switch elements as a set of ordered pairs (i, j), where (i, j) ε Sm if and only if the jth output element is coupled to the ith input element through one of the switch elements. The range of Sm is the set of outputs of Sm such that if j ε range(Sm) then (i, j) ε Sm for some i ε I. The domain of Sm is the set of inputs of Sm such that if i ε domain(Sm) then (i, j) ε Sm for some j ε O.

A communication system (500) includes a plurality of subscriber systems (510) coupled to a plurality of twisted pair data lines (520). Each subscriber system (510) has an availability guarantee value, which may specify a level of service for the subscriber system (510). A communication server (502) is coupled to the plurality of subscriber systems (510). The communication server (502) selectively couples a subscriber system (510), responsive to a request for service, to either a first modem pool (530) or a second modem pool (540) based on the availability guarantee value associated with the subscriber system (510). Communication server (502) can also provide a soft-termination state and dynamic network address allocation for subscriber systems (510).

A time:space:time switch fabric incorporating an odd integer number of spatially distributed data switches and a plurality of spatially distributed data serializers. Each data switch has a first plurality of ingress ports, an equal plurality of egress ports, and a space switch for selectably interconnecting any one of the ingress ports to any one of the egress ports. Each data serializer has an input bus for receiving signals to be routed through the switch fabric, an output bus for outputting signals routed through the switch fabric, a plurality of egress ports selectably connectible to any one of the data switch ingress ports, and an equal plurality of ingress ports selectably connectible to any one of the data switch egress ports. The ingress/egress ports are characterized by: (A) p planes, where p is a power-of-two integer less than or equal to the number of data serializer ingress and egress ports; (B) s stages, where s is an odd integer number; and, (C) a depth d, where d is a power-of-two integer less than or equal to the number of data switch ingress and egress ports.

A Message Storage and Deliver System (MSDS) is connected to the public switched telephone network (PSTN) and receives incoming calls with these calls being facsimile, voice, or data transmissions. The MSDS detects the type of call and stores the message signal in a database. The MSDS is also connected to the Internet and has a hyper-text transfer protocol deamon (HTTPD) for receiving requests from users. The HTTPD forwards requests for certain files or messages to a network server which transmits at least part of the message to the HTTPD and then to the user. In addition to requests for certain documents, the HTTPD may also receive a request in the form of a search query. The search query is forwarded from the HTTPD to an application program for conducting the search of the database. The results of the search are forwarded through the HTTPD to the user. The user may then select one or more files or messages from the search results and may save the search for later reference.

A method and a TDM digital switch are provided for switching data at a variety of data rates. Input streams having a data rate less than the maximum data rate of the switch are grouped and multiplexed to form multiplexed streams carrying data at the maximum data rate. A switching state machine switches the data from each input stream to form grouped output streams comprising multiplexed output streams, each grouped output stream carrying data at the maximum data rate. The grouped output streams are demultiplexed, and the output streams transmitted through respective output shift registers. The method and TDM digital switch allow streams with programmable data rates to be switched while still maximizing use of resources, including memory, within the switch.

A signal processor programmed with a set of instructions to perform a data transfer encoding method. The encoding method permits communication from the signal processor to a subscriber, where the subscriber is connected to a digital network by an analog loop. The signal processor may be connected through a digital connection to the digital network. The signal processor selects a digital codeword from a set of digital network codewords. The digital network codewords may correspond to a set of quantization values applied at a line interface which couples said digital network to said analog loop. The signal processor converts the data stream into a sequence of digital codewords from the set of digital codewords. The digital codewords may then be sampled and transmitted through the digital connection to the digital network. A signal processor performing a decoder method is also provided. The signal processor receives an analog signal representing the sequence of codewords. The signal processor converts the analog signal into the sequence of codewords.
