Abstract
A system for yielding control of a network to a device configured to operate on a PSTN. The system includes a network configured to couple one or more devices to a PSTN, and a PSTN telephone, a PSTN security system, and an ATA and modem coupled to the network. The ATA and modem are configured to provide a VoIP interface between the network and the Internet and to provide a dial tone to the network. An access detector is coupled to the network to detect when the security system attempts to use the network.

15. A method of seizing control of a network configured to interface with a PSTN, the method comprising:
-
transmitting, by a first device, a sequence of DTMF signals over the network; detecting the sequence of DTMF signals; disconnecting a second device from the network when the detected sequence of DTMF signals matches a predetermined sequence of DTMF signals; and communicating, by the first device, over the network following the disconnecting of the second device from the network. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
