Digital communication translator
First Claim
1. A digital communications translator for alarm systems, comprising:
- a first telephone line interface, for receiving communications signals from a host alarm system over a telephone line;
a second telephone line interface, for transmitting translated communications signals to a receiver system over a telephone line; and
a translator, coupled to the first telephone line interface and the second telephone line interface, for receiving communications signals from the host alarm system and translating the communications signals into translated communication signals and outputting the translated communications signals to the receiver system,wherein the communications signals comprise digital data signals which comprise alarm system codes and data representing events according to a first alarm system protocol generated by the host alarm system and the translated communications signals comprise corresponding alarm system codes and data representing the events according to a second alarm system protocol programmed into the translator.

Abstract
A digital communication translator for redirection of preprogrammed instructions and/or information from a digital alarm communicator system or digital communicator transmitter. The inventive device includes an integrated circuit board containing memory ships with input for a common analog or digital communications circuit and output for the same. An input for a low voltage direct current power. An EEPROM (Electronically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory) may interact with the activated host communication process and initiate a communication circuit with the redirected receiver. This EEPROM may simulate a receiver to the host transmitter, An EPROM (Electronically Programmable Read Only Memory) may contain a library of various formats and data to assist the EPROM in simulating the appropriate receiver for the host communicator.

11. A method of translating digital alarm communications over a telephone line, comprising the steps of:
-
receiving, over a first telephone line interface, communications signals from a host alarm system over a telephone line, receiving, in a translator coupled to the first telephone line interface and a second telephone line interface, communications signals from the host alarm system, translating, in the translator, the communications signals into translated communication signals, outputting the translated communications signals to the second telephone line interface, and transmitting, over the second telephone line interface, translated communications signals to a receiver system over a telephone line, wherein the communications signals comprise digital data signals which comprise alarm system codes and data representing events according to a first alarm system protocol generated by the host alarm system and the translated communications signals comprise corresponding alarm system codes and data representing the events according to a second alarm system protocol programmed into the translator. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
