Abstract:
A voice packet multiplexer which is connected with a PBX (private branch exchange), carries out packet multiplexing of voices and signals sent from the PBX to be sent to a packet communication channel, and disassembles a packet sent from a packet communication channel into voices and signals to be transmitted to the PBX, said voice packet multiplexer comprising: digit detector for detecting digits in the signals sent from the PBX; a logical channel retriever for retrieving a terminating logical channel according to the digits output from the digit detector; a voice packet assembler for assembling a packet from the terminating logical channel and the voices sent from the PBX; a signal packet assembler for assembling a packet from the terminating logical channel and the signals sent from the PBX; a packet storage for storing the packet sent from the packet communication channel; an originating logical channel detector for detecting an originating logical channel in a packet sent from an originating terminal; an address translator for translating, when transmitting the packet stored in said packet storage to the packet communication channel, an address field in the packet; said digit detector detects the digits in the packet sent from the packet communication channel, wherein said packet storage stores, when receiving the packet from the packet communication channel, said packet, wherein when the terminating logical channel has not yet been established, said originating logical channel detector detects the originating logical channel, and said logical channel retriever retrieves the terminating logical channel according to the digits detected by the digit detector, and when the terminating logical channel has been established, said packet stored in said packet storage is transmitted through said packet communication channel, and wherein said address translator translates said address field of the packet into the terminating logical channel when the address field is the originating logical channel, and into the originating logical channel when the address field is the terminating logical channel.
