Abstract:
1. A Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) device for selecting a mode and communicating data based on the selected mode, the device comprising: at least one interface circuit, each interface circuit configured to monitor analog audio signals from one or more customer premise equipment device(s) during a communication to determine monitored frequency components of the analog audio signals from the corresponding customer premises equipment(s), and determine whether the monitored frequency components are outside a first band of frequencies; a processor circuit coupled to the at least one interface circuit and configured to: an output circuit coupled to the processor circuit and configured to receive and transmit the data packets through a communication channel to a network, wherein the assignment of the second band mode for the conversion enables the output circuit to use a larger bandwidth of the communication channel to the network than a bandwidth allowed by the assignment of the first band mode for the conversion in transmitting the data packets through the communication channel.
