Abstract:
A device for processing data information in a remote access server which provides a voice and a facsimile data service over the Internet, the device comprising:a first interface for interfacing with a public switch network; a second interface for interfacing with the Internet; and, a remote access server coupled to the first interface and the second interface for transmitting the voice and facsimile data received from the first interface to the Internet via the second interface and for transmitting the voice and facsimile data received from the second interface to the public network via the first interface; said remote access server including; a plurality of codecs, each having a plurality of channels coupled to said first interface, for encoding/encoding data information received, via said plurality of channel, from said first interface/said second interface; at least one codec controller for controlling said codecs and for controlling the generation of an interrupt in said codecs; at least one slave processor for providing the data information from said first interface to one of said channels and outputting said encoded data information by one of said codecs to said second interface upon detecting said interrupt generated from said one codec, and for providing the data information from said second interface to one of said channels and outputting said decoded data information by one of said codecs to said first interface; and, a master processor for communicating with a system operator and for managing the slave processor.
