Abstract:
1. A gateway for interconnection of a line-switching telecommunications network and a packet-switching telecommunications network, comprising: a user channel data converter to convert user channel data between a line-switching format and a packet-switching format; and a signaling channel data converter to convert signaling data between the line-switching format and a packet-switching format, wherein the user channel data converter is connected via at least one additional line-switching user/signaling channel data interface for transmission of user channel data to a switching center in the line-switching telecommunications network, and via a packet-switching data interface to the packet-switching telecommunications network, and the signaling channel data converter is connected in a predetermined user/signaling channel data interface by which signaling information which is transmitted on the user/signaling channel data interface for the additional user/signaling channel data interface is filtered out, and the signaling channel data converter actuates the user channel data converter on the basis of the filtered-out signaling information.
