Abstract
A method for operating a switching device utilizing different signaling protocols. A terminal device is connected to a switching device with the assistance of an interface unit for protocol conversion. Signaling commands that correspond to a signaling protocol employed in the switching device are “tunneled” between the interface unit and the terminal device.
