First Claim
Patent Images
1. An interface for communicating between digital ISDN signals from an ISDN terminal and an analog telephone network, comprising:
- a first circuit for receiving first ISDN signals from said ISDN terminal and separating said ISDN signals into first digital control and first digital data signals;
a second circuit for receiving said first digital control signals and translating said first digital control signals into first translation control signals;
a DTMF transceiver coupled to receive said first translation control signals and generating first analog telephone tone control signals;
a third circuit for receiving said first digital data signals and said first translation control signals, and translating said first digital data signals into first analog telephone data signals under the control of said first translation control signals;
analog coupling means for coupling said first analog telephone tone control signals and said first analog data signals to said analog telephone network, and for receiving second analog data signals and second analog telephone tone control signals from said analog telephone network;
said DTMF transceiver receiving said second analog telephone tone control signals and generating second translation control signals;
said second circuit receiving said second translation control signals and translating said second translation control signals into second digital control signals;
said third circuit receiving said second analog data signals and said second translation control signals, and translating said second analog data signals into second digital data signals, under the control of said second translation control signals;
said first circuit receiving said second digital data signals from said third circuit, and said second digital control signals from said second circuit, and combining said second digital control signals and said second digital data signals into second ISDN signals;
digital coupling means for coupling said second ISDN signals from said first circuit to said ISDN terminal.

Abstract
An interface for translating signals from a ISDN terminal to an analog telephone terminal including apparatus for separating ISDN signals into control and data signals, apparatus for utilizing the control signals to generate tone signals for transfer to a telephone line, apparatus for translating the digital control signals into signals controlling the transfer of data from digital to analog form, apparatus for translating digital signals in ISDN format into analog signals under control of the apparatus for translating the digital control signals into signals controlling the transfer of data from digital to analog form, apparatus for translating control signals in analog tone format to digital signals for controlling the transfer of signals to an ISDN terminal, apparatus for using the control signals for controlling the transfer of data from analog to digital form, and apparatus for translating analog signals into digital signals in ISDN format under control of the digital signals for controlling the transfer of signals to an ISDN terminal.
