Abstract
An intercom system for use with a remote demarcation point includes a remote demarcation interface module operatively connected to the remote demarcation point, wherein the remote demarcation interface module selectively connects and disconnects with the remote demarcation point. In the system, a control module connects a subscriber telephone instrument to a remote demarcation point. The control module includes a processor module that includes processor logic operative to receive and process one or more signals, and subscriber monitor logic operative to monitor the subscriber telephone instrument activity and to provide a subscriber control signal to the processor logic. A steering relay module is operative to selectively connect and disconnect the subscriber telephone instrument to the remote demarcation point upon receipt of a steering control signal from the processor logic, wherein the steering control signal is generated by the processor module based upon the subscriber control signal.
