Abstract: An ATM-port module for an ATM-node having an Ethernet switch includes an ATM-controller; and an Ethernet-switch interface connecting it to the Ethernet switch. The switch has an Ethernet encapsulating-unit for encapsulating ATM cells processes by the ATM-controller into packets for transmission to the switch, and an Ethernet decapsulating-unit for extracting ATM cells from packets received from the switch. The module further includes a segmentation-and-reassembly unit; and a buffering-and-scheduling unit. The buffering-and-scheduling unit provides a processed enlarged-ATM-cell to the encapsulating-unit when an indication flag indicates that an ATM port is a destination port of the enlarged ATM-cell; and a processed enlarged-ATM-cell to the segmentation-and-reassembly unit when an indication flag indicates that an Ethernet port is the enlarged ATM-cell's destination port.

Abstract: An interface unit for data transfer between a processor bus and an ISDN-based bus is disclosed. The ISDN-based bus is an IOM-2 bus. The interface unit enables access to all available IOM-2 slots, thereby increasing data transfer rate between the processor and IOM-2 buses.

Abstract: A keypad arrangement is disclosed comprising a scanning unit (30) having a certain number of port line terminals (1 to 11) and a number of sensor cells (21) arranged in half-matrix structure having rows (23) and columns (22) whereby the number of columns (22) and the number of rows (23) each are less than the number of port line terminals. In comparison to normal detection systems, the given detection system allows a significant reduction of the port line terminals required to scan a given number of sensor cells. The device described is preferably applicable in communication devices.

Abstract: A communication device has a microcontroller for high-speed data handling. A terminal-specific function unit separated from the microcontroller performs all control functions for the user interface devices, preferably keypad scanning, LCD control, and LED control. The function of the circuit block is preferably hard-wired. The circuit block connects to the microcontroller via the microcontroller bus. The microcontroller is freed from user interface control functions and is concentrated on data handling.
