Abstract

A method for using narrowband performance features provided in broadband communications terminals, in broadband networks, includes switching respective connections to an interworking unit through the broadband network. Signaling information which is contained therein is transmitted to a logic narrowband switching unit and an item of narrowband control information is derived therefrom. In the interworking unit, that information is converted into an item of broadband control information and a physical broadband switching unit for switching the respective connection is thus set.
