Abstract:
A method for controlling data flow between a remote computer system and a plurality of networks, comprising:detecting that a request for a connection between the remote computer and the plurality of networks is being made;in response, signaling to a processor that the request is being made, wherein the processor is coupled to a data network of the plurality of networks;assigning a voice-grade time slot to an analog front end;if the request is for a voice call, assigning a fixed time slot on a time division multiplex bus coupled between the remote computer and the plurality of networks;if the request is for a standard modem call, assigning a fixed time slot on a time division multiplex (TDM) bus coupled between the remote computer and the plurality of networks; andif the request is for a digital subscriber loop connection,increasing a signal sampling rate to a maximum rate;shifting to a higher accuracy companding mode;assigning some bandwidth of the TDM bus to the requested connection; andassigning a portion of a digital signal processing (DSP) resources to the requested connection.
