Telecommunication system with selective remote interface assembly and method
First Claim
1. In a telecommunication system with a distributed processor architecture having a central control processor and a plurality of subprocessor controlled peripheral circuits through which the central control processor receives information and affects a central control of the system, the improvement being a selective remote interface assembly, comprising:
- means for connecting with a single connection modem;
means for determining the operating state of the telecommunication system; and
means responsive to the operating state determining means for selectively obtaining a relatively full featured user interface through the single connection modem connecting means when it is determined that the telecommunication system is in an on-line state and for obtaining a relatively limited user interface through the single connection modem connecting means when it is determined that the telecommunication system is in an off-line state.

Abstract
A telecommunication system (10) with a distributed processor architecture having a central control processor (14) and a plurality of subprocessor controlled peripheral circuits (13) through which the central control processor (14) receives information and affects the central control of the telecommunication system (10), a selective remote interface assembly (11) which determines the operating state of the telecommunication system (10) and is connected with a single connection modem (30) and in which the selective remote interface assembly (11) selectively obtains a relatively full featured user through the single connection modem (30) when it is determined that the telecommunication system (10) is in an on-line state and to obtain a relatively limited user interface through the single connection modem (30) when it is determined that the telecommunication system (10) is in an off-line state.

13. In a telecommunication system with a distributed processor architecture having a central control processor and a plurality of subprocessor controlled peripheral circuits through which the central control processor receives information and affects a central control of the system, the improvement being a method for selectively establishing a remote interface with the central control processor, comprising the steps of:
-
determining the operating state of the telecommunication system; and selectively obtaining a relatively full featured user interface through a single connection modem connecting means when it is determined that the telecommunication system is in an on-line state and selectively obtaining a relatively limited user interface through the single connection modem connecting means when it is determined that the telecommunication system is in an off-line state. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
