Abstract

PURPOSE:To centralize existing terminal housing by housing plural existing terminal line correspondence parts in a wide band ISDN terminal adapter. CONSTITUTION:In the example of map link in a direction from an existing terminal to a wide band network, the respectively different or the same kind of existing terminal interface signals R1-Rn are termination-processed by the existing terminal termination parts 31-3n of the respective existing terminal line correspondence parts 50-5n. Information as the output is converted to ATM cells by the cell assembly function of ATM cell assembly/disassembly parts 21-2n and outputted to the wide band line correspondence part 40 of a next stage. In the wide band line correspondence part 40 of this wide band ISDN terminal adapter 10, plural ATM cell trains from the respective existing terminal line correspondence parts 50-5n are outputted to the cell multiplexing function 11 of an ATM cell multiplexing/demultiplexing part 12. The wide band line termination function 11 converts the ATM cell trains to wide band line interface signals UNI, STM-1 frames for instance, and transmits them to the network.
