  • Publication number: 20060281480
    Abstract: An apparatus (213) and corresponding methods (FIG. 7) to facilitate maintaining crypto synchronization while processing communication signals in a communication unit includes a vocoder (215) configured to convert input audio band signals to vocoder output frames; a crypto processor (217) configured to encrypt the vocoder output frames to provide encrypted output frames; and a synchronizer (219) configured to substitute in a predetermined manner synchronization information corresponding to an encryption state of the crypto processor for a portion of the encrypted data in a portion of the encrypted output frames to provide resultant output synchronization frames suitable for synchronizing a decryption process at a target communication unit.

  • Patent number: 6829249
    Abstract: A system and method is designed for upgrading a digital PBX used with a pulse code modulation (PCM) telephone system by providing an interface card connected to the back plane of the PBX. The interface card acts as a replacement for the digital key set cards normally used with the back plane of such a PBX. The interface card is designed with circuitry to process voice-encoded packet data directly from a LAN to the PCM data used within the PBX network, and to process PCM data from the telephone network to voice coded packet data on the LAN to provide a voice-over Internet protocol and interface with the telephone system connected with and controlled by the PBX.
