Abstract
An apparatus for communicating telecommunication information between customer premises equipment and network equipment includes a subscriber line interface, a processing module, and a bypass switch. The interface receives an analog telephone signal communicating telecommunication information from a subscriber line. The processing module receives the analog telephone signal and processes the analog telephone signal to generate data packets for communicating the telecommunication information over a local loop circuit in a first mode of operation. The bypass switch communicates the analog telephone signal from the interface to the processing module in the first mode of operation and communicates the analog telephone signal from the interface over the local loop circuit to the network equipment in a second mode of operation.
