Abstract:
A method of automatically coupling amplitude, phase, and frequency-modulated audio signals representing data and audio-frequency voice signals from an analog communications network to a digital communications network, for transmission on said digital communications network, the method comprising the steps of:a) receiving, from said analog communications network, an analog audio frequency signal for conversion to a digital signal for transmission on said digital communications network; b) testing said analog audio frequency signal for the presence of a first predetermined signal, wherein the first predetermined signal is a connect tone of a facsimile machine; c) routing said analog frequency signal to a first analog to digital signal converter that converts said analog frequency signal to a first digital signal when said first predetermined signal is present; and d) transmitting said digital signals on said digital communications network to a terminating wireless communication device.
