First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for transmitting data from an ISDN terminal in an ISDN to a LAN terminal in a LAN, through an intermediate device, comprising the steps of:
- establishing a connection between the ISDN terminal and the intermediate device;
transmitting, by the ISDN terminal to the intermediate device after the connection has been established between the ISDN terminal and the intermediate terminal, first information containing address information of the intermediate device in a first field, and second information containing address information of the LAN terminal in a second field different from the first field;
receiving, by the intermediate device, the first and second information transmitted by the ISDN terminal;
transmitting by the intermediated device, information corresponding to the second information containing address information of the LAN terminal to the LAN terminal;
transmitting third information, by the ISDN terminal, to the intermediate device;
disconnecting the connection between the ISDN terminal and the intermediate device; and
transmitting the third information from the intermediate device to the LAN terminal, after the connection between the ISDN terminal and the intermediate device has been disconnected.

Abstract
An ISDN-LAN connection terminal executes the communications control procedure of a D-channel protocol, and is connected with a LAN. An ISDN connection terminal specifies at least one of the LAN terminals by a sub-address or user-user information in a set up signal. The sub-address or the user-user information include an internet address, an electric mail address or a host name as identification information of the LAN terminal. The ISDN-LAN connection terminal transmits the data to the specified LAN terminal.

7. A method for transmitting data from an ISDN terminal in an ISDN to a LAN terminal in a LAN, through an intermediate device, comprising the steps of:
-
establishing a connection between the ISDN terminal and the intermediate device; transmitting, by the ISDN terminal to the intermediate device after the connection has been established between the ISDN terminal and the intermediate terminal, first information containing address information of the intermediate device in a first field, and second information containing address information of the LAN terminal as user-user data in a second field different from the first field; receiving, by the intermediate device, the first and second information transmitted by the ISDN terminal; transmitting by the intermediated device, information corresponding to the second information containing address information of the LAN terminal to the LAN terminal; transmitting third information, by the ISDN terminal, to the intermediate device; disconnecting the connection between the ISDN terminal and the intermediate device; and transmitting the third information from the intermediate device to the LAN terminal, after the connection between the ISDN terminal and the intermediate device has been disconnected. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)

12. An apparatus for connecting an ISDN to a LAN, comprising:
-
means for establishing a connection to an ISDN terminal of the ISDN; means for receiving ISDN communications control information having first address information in a first field and second address information in a second field different from the first field, transmitted by the ISDN terminal over said ISDN; means for extracting the second address information from the received ISDN communications control information; means for generating LAN data containing address information corresponding to said second address information; means for disconnecting the connection to the ISDN terminal; and means for transmitting said generated LAN data to the LAN, after said means for disconnecting disconnects the connection to the ISDN terminal. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)
