Abstract

A telecommunication system includes a digital switch, a local loop coupling the digital switch to a subscriber location, wherein a segment of the local loop includes copper twisted pair and wherein an asymmetrical digital subscriber line (102) is carried by the local loop, the asymmetrical digital subscriber line (102) including a plurality of digital packets capable of carrying a plurality of derived digital telephone lines. The telecommunication system further includes a subscriber unit coupled to the asymmetrical digital subscriber line (102). The subscriber unit monitors the content of at least one of a plurality of data packets, receives an off-hook signal in response to an action of a user, and initiates a first arrived digital telephone line of the plurality of data to derived digital telephone lines in response to the off-hook signal.

Claims (5)

1. A method for use in a telecommunication system including a digital switch, a local loop coupling the digital switch to a subscriber location, wherein a segment of the local loop includes copper twisted pair and wherein an asymmetrical digital subscriber line is carried by the local loop, the asymmetrical digital subscriber line including a plurality of data packets capable of carrying a plurality of derived digital telephone lines, the telecommunication system further comprising a subscriber unit coupled to the asymmetrical digital subscriber line, the method comprising the steps of:
receiving an off-hook signal, generated by the subscriber unit in response to an action of a user; and initiating a first derived digital telephone line of the plurality of derived digital telephone lines in response to the off-hook signal.
2. The method of claim 1 further comprising the steps of:
generating a line-in-use signal, at the subscriber unit, indicating a first derived digital telephone line is in use.
3. The method of claim 2 further comprising the step of:
generating a visual indicator, at the subscriber unit, in response to the line-in-use signal.
4. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of:
monitoring, at the subscriber unit, the content of at least one of the plurality of data packets.
5. The method of claim 1 further comprising the steps of:
receiving an on-hook signal, generated by the subscriber unit in response to an action of a user; and terminating the first derived digital telephone line of the plurality of derived digital telephone lines in response to the on-hook signal.
