Abstract

A line termination unit which supports Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) and high speed data (HSD) services such as asymmetric digital subscriber loop (ADSL) or XDSL services to a subcriber over a common two-wire subscriber line. The line termination unit has a line termination circuit that connects to the subscriber line and provides ISDN signals to the line. The line support circuit receives incoming ISDN and HSD signals from the line and transmits outgoing ISDN and HSD signals to the line. The received incoming analog signals are separated into first (ISDN information) signals and second (HSD information) signals. The first signals are converted into third digital signals having a format used for ISDN signals by an associated central office and transmitting the third digital signals to the central office. The second signals are converted into fourth digital signals having a format used for HSD signals by an associated central office and the fourth digital signals are transmitted to the central office.
