  • ISDN terminal equipment-resident mechanism for determining service profile identifiers and associated telecommunication switch protocol
    Patent number: 7180870
    Abstract: The inability of an ISDN equipment user to properly configure ISDN terminal equipment, even when provided with correctly assigned switch protocol, SPID and LDN parameters by a telephone service provider, is successfully remedied by a SPID/switch protocol detector. Upon being invoked by the user, the routine proceeds to conduct an iterative search of stored SPID formats associated with different central office switch protocols. SPIDs are assembled in accordance with the iteratively accessed SPID formats and directory number information that has been entered by the user. If an attempt to register a SPID is successful, the routine places a test call. If the test call is successful, the SPID and its associated switch protocol will have been identified, and the terminal equipment may place a call.

  • ISDN terminal adapter-resident mechanism for automatically determining telecommunication switch type and generating associated service profile identifiers
    Patent number: 6246671
    Abstract: An automated telecommunication switch type and protocol detection routine transmits an interrogation message to a telecommunication switch. The contents of the interrogation message are such as to cause the switch to transmit a response message that uniquely identifies only one switch protocol and switch type. Once switch type and protocol have been automatically determined, this information may be coupled with an automated service profile identifier (SPID) detection mechanism to facilitate generation of the requisite SPID(s).
