Patent ID: 7567574

Claim:
An intelligent network for use with an ATM network to set up an ATM switched virtual circuit to provide Voice Telephony over ATM services and private address translation, the intelligent network comprising: a multi-service control point operable to: receive an input extracted from an input ATM setup message, designate an ATM address of a called party customer premises equipment (CPE), based on the input, to be stored in a first called party subaddress parameter of an output ATM setup message, designate an ATM address of an egress ATM edge switch to be stored in a called party number parameter of the output ATM setup message, and generate an output for use in generating the output ATM setup message; and an ATM signaling intercept processor operable to: intercept the input ATM setup message from an ingress ATM edge switch, extract the input from the input ATM setup message, communicate the input to the multi-service control point, receive the output generated by the multi-service control point, generate the output ATM setup message, based on the output, including the ATM address of an egress ATM edge switch in the called party number parameter of the output ATM setup message and the ATM address of the called party CPE in the first called party subaddress parameter of an output ATM setup message, and communicate the output ATM setup message to the ingress ATM edge switch.
