  • Digital loop carrier or other multi-services access system as a data and voice packet server
    Patent number: 6928068
    Abstract: A multi-services access system, such as a multi-services digital loop carrier (DLC) system for a telecommunications network, has a packet-mode card, such as a digital subscriber line (DSL) card, configured to receive data packets corresponding to one or more data signals and derived-voice packets from a single packet-mode customer premises equipment (CPE) unit, wherein the packet-mode card determines whether each received packet is a data packet or a derived-voice packet. The access system also has a packet interface configured to receive the data packets from the packet-mode card and to transmit the data packets to a packet-switched network for packet-based switching.
