  • ISDN terminal adapter for use with external modem and employing software-based serial communication framing for ISDN `D` channel signaling
    Patent number: 5903572
    Abstract: An ISDN terminal adapter is capable of providing both digital and analog communication connectivity between a customer's data terminal equipment (DTE) and a digital communication link. The adapter includes a digital (ISDN) communication transceiver for transmitting and receiving digital communication signals on the ISDN link. A first digital communication connector is coupled with the DTE. A second digital communication connector is coupled with the customer's modem. An analog communication connector is coupled with an analog port of the modem. An analog/digital communication interface is coupled between the analog communication connector and the digital communication transceiver. A serial communication exchange processor is coupled with the first and second digital communication connectors and the transceiver.
