Network termination and network termination arrangement of a telecommunications network

Network termination arrangement (NTE) to terminate an integrated services digital network (ISDN) with several network terminations (NT), the integrated service digital network providing access to at least two communication channels for voice or data, and at least one signaling channel, and each network termination for connecting one or more subscriber terminals (TE) via corresponding telecommunications connection units (TAE) to the integrated services digital network (ISDN) that provides access to at least two communication channels for voice or data, and at least one signaling channel, each network termination (NT) comprising a network-side interface, at least two subscriber-side interfaces which are connected to the network-side interface by an internal bus, and which each provide access to an external bus, and a control unit (CPU) connected to the network-side interface and the at least two subscriber-side interfaces by the internal bus for transmission of frame-structured information, wherein a network-side frame contains at least two communication channels and, in addition, at least one signaling channel, and wherein the at least two communication channels provided through the network-side interface are apportioned among the at least two subscriber-side interfaces in accordance with a predetermined distribution, including an apportionment in which the at least two subscriber-side interfaces share, in a time division multiplexed way, the at least one signaling channel, thereby providing that each of the at least two subscriber-side interfaces have simultaneous access to a same signaling channel, said network termination arrangement further comprising a voltage transformer (ACDC) fed by a power supply (SK) that is independent of the ISDN for providing power for said several network terminations (NT).

Telecommunications system (SYS) comprising:

• at least one exchange (VSt), several network terminations (NT) and several terminals (TE), where the terminals (TE) are connected via corresponding telecommunications connections (TAE) to said at least one exchange through the network terminations (NT), where the network terminations (NT) each connect one or more subscriber terminals (TE) via corresponding telecommunications connection units (TAE) to an integrated services digital network (ISDN) that provides access to at least two communication channels for voice or data, and at least one signaling channel, each network termination (NT) comprising a network-side interface, at least two subscriber-side interfaces which are connected to the network-side interface by an internal bus, and which each provide access to an external bus, and a control unit (CPU) connected to the network-side interface and the at least two subscriber-side interfaces by the internal bus for transmission of frame-structured information, wherein a network-side frame contains at least two communication channels and, in addition, at least one signaling channel, and wherein the at least two communication channels provided through the network-side interface are apportioned among the at least two subscriber-side interfaces in accordance with a predetermined distribution, including an apportionment in which the at least two subscriber-side interfaces share, in a time division multiplexed way, the at least one signaling channel, thereby providing that each of the at least two subscriber-side interfaces have simultaneous access to a same signaling channel.
