Abstract

An asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) control system is adapted to transmit an audio signal and a control signal from at least one subscriber terminal to an exchange via a multiplexed line of an audio signal line, a control signal line and an image signal line, and to transmit an audio signal and an image signal from the exchange to the subscriber terminal. The ADSL control system includes a unit for allocating an unused image signal line between the subscriber terminal and the exchange to the control signal line from the subscriber terminal to the exchange, and a unit for allocating 2 lines for each subscriber terminal at the exchange.
