Claim 1
Independent Claim
158 words
An ISDN subscriber line, comprising: network terminal means for providing signals and receiving signals, including maintenance signals; terminal equipment connected to said network terminal means; and an exchange terminal, connected to said network terminal means, so as to constantly send a training pulse for frame synchronization and bit synchronization, and connected to receive signals from a host device, said exchange terminal comprising: detecting means for detecting maintaining signals; output means for outputting the maintenance signals; and control means for selecting one of the maintenance signals to be output in accordance with one of a signal which provides instructions to the exchange terminal from the host device and a maintenance signal output from said network terminal, said control means selecting one of the maintenance signals and said output means outputting said selected maintenance signal to said network terminal means in accordance with one of the output signals from said network terminal means and a signal from said host device.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
158 words
An ISDN subscriber line, comprising: network terminal means for providing signals and receiving signals, including maintenance signals; terminal equipment connected to said network terminal means; and an exchange terminal, connected to said network terminal means, so as to constantly send a training pulse for frame synchronization and bit synchronization, and connected to receive signals from a host device, said exchange terminal comprising: detecting means for detecting maintaining signals; output means for outputting the maintenance signals; and control means for selecting one of the maintenance signals to be output in accordance with one of a signal which provides instructions to the exchange terminal from the host device and a maintenance signal output from said network terminal, said control means selecting one of the maintenance signals and said output means outputting said selected maintenance signal to said network terminal means in accordance with one of the output signals from said network terminal means and a signal from said host device.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
164 words
An ISDN subscriber line, comprising: network terminal means for providing and receiving signals, including maintenance signals; terminal equipment means, connected to said network terminal means, for providing activate request signals and deactivate request signals to said network terminal; and exchange terminal means, coupled to said network terminal, for constantly transmitting training signals to said network terminal and for providing activate request signals and deactivate request signals to said network terminals, and including: discriminating means for detecting the maintenance signals and providing indication of detection of the maintenance signals; output means for outputting the maintenance signals; and control means for selecting one of the maintenance signals to be output according to receipt of one of the maintenance signals from said network terminal means as indicated by the discriminating means, said control means selecting one of the maintenance signals and said output means outputting said selected maintenance signal to said network terminal means in accordance with one of the output signals from said network terminal means.
Claim 4
