Abstract:
A method, comprising:receiving a telecommunications signal, including: extracting a group of eight bits from the telecommunications signal, the group of eight bits including seven least-significant bits; loading the group of eight bits into a 64K buffer suitable for use in identifying a 64K HDLC mode; and loading the seven least-significant bits into a 56K buffer suitable for use in identifying a 56K HDLC mode; contemporaneously evaluating the telecommunications signal for compliance with at least two signal modes including using the group of eight bits in the 64K buffer to identify the 64K HDLC mode and using the seven least-significant bits in the 56K buffer to identify the 56K HDLC mode; when the evaluation indicates that the signal conforms to the 64K HDLC mode, processing the signal as a 64K HDLC mode signal; and when the evaluation indicates that the signal conforms to the 56K HDLC mode, processing the signal as a 56K HDLC mode signal.
