Abstract:
A subscriber system (10), operating in combination with other similar subscriber systems, for collectively and swiftly distributing multiple copies of digital data to a large number of other subscriber systems. The subscriber system (10) receives digital data and stores it on a storage device (38). An autonomous digital data communication subsystem (42) then obtains a copy of the digital data directly from the storage device (30) and transmits that data to another subscriber system. The autonomous digital data communication subsystem (42) includes transceivers (72, 82, 102 or 104) for exchanging digital data with ISDN communication channels (46, 44a, 44b or 44c). The transceivers (72, 82, 102 or 104) receive the digital data from a random access memory ("RAM") (56) included in the autonomous digital data communication subsystem (42). A SCSI controller (52) exchanges the digital data between the RAM (56) and the storage device (38) of the subscriber system (10). A control signal processor controls the operation of the autonomous digital data communication subsystem (42) including its transceivers (72, 82, 102 and 104).

Abstract:
One, or more, ISDN interfaces have their reach extended without violating ISDN interface standards by a method which converts ISDN coded information which is to be delivered over an extended channel into binary coded data prior to transmission, transmitting the binary coded information to a receiver at an extended location and there, after storage, and assembly, converting the binary coded data into ISDN specific coded data for delivery to an ISDN interface.
Abstract:
An ISDN-user-network interface system comprising an interface buffer and an interface adapter. The interface buffer provided between an ISDN network terminal equipment and a terminal equipment to receive an up-signal frame transmitted from said terminal equipment to said network terminal equipment, to store said up-signal frame, and to transmit said stored up-signal frame at a timing when said network terminal equipment is capable of detecting the synchronization of said up-signal frame. The interface adapter provided between said ISDN network terminal equipment and said terminal equipment, to receive an up-signal frame transmitted from said terminal equipment to said network terminal equipment, to detect D-channel bits of said up-signal frame, to transmit said up-signal frame to said network terminal equipment, to copy said detected D-channel bits into echo channel bits of a down-signal frame from said net-work terminal equipment to said terminal equipment received immediately after the transmission of said up-signal frame, and to transmit said down-signal frame to said terminal equipment.
Abstract:
A receiver for a digital data transmission system comprises a sampling device for sampling digital data signals received from a subscriber loop. A precursor equalizer connected to the output of the sampling device equalizes, in effect filters, the sampled digital data signal. A timing recovery circuit connected to the output of the precursor equalizer controls the sampling device in dependence upon the filtered digital data signal. The precursor equalizer has a difference equation such that the equalized digital data signal has at least one zero-crossing occurring substantially one baud before the main cursor of each pulse. For twisted wire pair subscriber loops, the precursor equalizer may have a different equation: ##EQU1## which produces a single precursor zero-crossing. Alternatively, the precursor equalizer may have a difference equation: ##EQU2## which produces two precursor zero crossings, y(n) being the input to the filter, w(n) its output, h.sub.0 the main cursor height before equalization and h.sub.-1 the precursor height before equalization. The latter precursor equalizer may be modified by multiplying each of the coefficients (h.sub.-1 /h.sub.0).sup.2 and h.sub.-1 /h.sub.0 by a factor ##EQU3## for more precise determination of the zero crossings. A (1-Z.sup.-1) filter may be provided ahead of the precursor equalizer.

Abstract:
A digital switching system comprises a plurality of digital interface cards for connection to a public telecommunications network, each card including at least one digital interface circuit with a synchronization detector for detecting a network synchronization signal. A control unit includes a system clock having a clock synchronization input. A a system bus carries data through the switching system and is connected between the interface cards and the control unit. A switch in the interface cards is operative in response to control data from the control unit and carried over the system bus in an overhead channel to connect the synchronization detector of a selected active digital interface circuit to the clock synchronization input of the system clock over a clock synchronization line so as to pass detected synchronization signals on the active circuit directly thereto. The system clock can thus be brought directly into synchronization with the detected synchronization signal of the active interface unit.
Abstract:
A method of data transmission over an internal bus of a workstation, effecting communication of an interface coupler and a telephone line and devices adapted for various communication functions. The method employs the synchronization signal of a voice network to define 125-microsecond communication frames. Included in each 125-microsecond frame thus defined are a maximum of eight variable-length subframes corresponding to a maximum of eight devices. The first two bytes of each subframe are header bytes. Coded in the header bytes of each subframe are a device destination address, and length codes indicating the number of bytes of data included in the subframe and the number of active bits in the last byte.
