`Claim 24
`
`The public switched telephone network (PSTN) is the
`preferred circuit-switched communication network 118. In
`this context, the PSTN refers to the worldwide voice tele-
`phone system. Once only an analog system, the heart of most
`telephone networks today is digital. In the United States,
`most of the remaining analog lines are the ones from homes
`and offices to the telephone company’s central office. It is
`not difficult to imagine that some day these lines will also be
`digital.

`

`Archer 5:32—46
`Archer 5:32-46
`Claim 24
`
`The circuit-switched communication network 118 is
`
`coupled to converter 126 which serves to convert the tele-
`phone signals into digitized packets. Converter 126 can also
`be referred to as a gateway, a digitizer or an encoder. For
`voice communicationsz the conversion function would
`include sampling the voice signals and generating digitized
`representations. This digital sample data can then be com-
`bined with packet headers and footers in a manner consistent
`with the protocol used on packet-switched network 130.
`While Internet Protocol (IP) is preferred, the precise proto-
`col used is not critical to the claimed invention. In general,
`converter 126 may convert signals from a first network (e.g.,
`circuit-switched network 118 into a di ital
`rotocol which
`
`can be routed through packet—switched network 130.

`Archer 5:47-58
`Claim 24
`
`FIG. 3 illustrates a simplified block diagram of a con-
`verter 126. The converter receives telephone signals from
`circuit-switched network 118. These signals are provided to
`a modem 70 and control circuitry 72. The modem translates
`the signals into digital signals which can be handled by
`router 74. The control circuitry 72 utilizes the signaling
`information to generate the packet addressing information
`for router 74. In the preferred embodiment, control circuitry
`72 comprises a processor based system such as a computer
`or specialized hardware. The control circuitry 72 can be
`embedded within router 74. The router then provides pack-
`etized information to the packet-switched network 130.

`terminating device conversant in the IP format.
`
`• Only after the call has been answered, a single call answer
`message is converted from IP format (Connect message 712)
`to PSTN format (ANM 714), and then the answer message is
`received by PSTN device conversant in the PSTN format.
