Automatic Configuration Of A Remote Communication Interface Via The Alarm Indication Signal

US Patent:
5946303, Aug 31, 1999
Filed:
Nov 29, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/564885
Inventors:
Godfrey Dewar Watson - Montara CA
Marcel Bruno Manzardo - Palo Alto CA
Assignee:
Siemens Information and Communication Networks, Inc. - Boca Raton FL
International Classification:
H04J 302, H04Q 900
US Classification:
370254
Abstract:
A method for communicating configuration information between two interface devices connected to a communication link in a system in which each device is capable of generating and recognizing an alarm indication signal (AIS) indicating that the device generating the AIS is not available for communication. In a communication system utilizing the present invention, each interface device is capable of modulating the AIS signal and recognizing a modulated AIS signal. A first modulation pattern is used to establish communication between devices with incompatible configurations. Configuration information is then sent from one of the devices by utilizing a second modulation pattern.

Generic Distributed Protocol Converter

US Patent:
6259781, Jul 10, 2001
Filed:
Aug 6, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/907225
Inventors:
Richard W. Crouch - Gustine CA
Godfrey D. Watson - Montara CA
Assignee:
Siemens Information and Communication Networks, Inc. - Boca Raton FL
International Classification:
H04M 342
US Classification:
379207
Abstract:
A system for isolating portions of a computer program in a telecommunication system that receives messages from a variety of hardware or software platforms. A generic protocol converter (50) receives the message and selects a set of tables (52, 54, 56, 58) based upon the platform of the source or destination of the message. A table within the table set is selected based on the direction of the message. Within each table is a listing of subroutines that are associated with a particular message. The protocol converter calls the appropriate subroutine within a main application program (70) to handle the message. Because the tables are grouped by protocol types, a change to the application program involving one protocol type does not require recompiling or retesting of application programs or subroutines associated with other protocols.
