Abstract
Devices, softwares and methods limit the total Modem-On-Hold (“MOH”) timeout time of a single log-in session. When a logged in user requests a Modem-On-Hold session, a server counts the cumulative time spent during individual MOH sessions. Once a limit is exceeded, then subsequent MOH requests are denied.
Claims44
A device comprising:
- a telephone port for coupling to a telephone network;
- and
- a processor coupled with the telephone port, wherein the processor is adapted to establish a modem connection with a modem over a telephone line;
- exchange data with the modem over the modem connection;
- receive from the modem a first request for temporarily discontinuing the modem connection;
- grant the first request and starting a timer;
- receive from the modern a second request for temporarily discontinuing the modem connection again;
- consult the timer to determine whether a log-in session timeout time limit has been exceeded;
- and
- if the log-in session timeout time limit has been exceeded, deny the second request.

A device comprising:
- a modem for coupling to a telephone network;
- and
- a processor coupled with the modern, wherein the processor is adapted to establish a modem connection with a network device over a telephone line;
- exchange data with the network device over the modem connection;
- transmit through the modern connection a first request for temporarily discontinuing the modem connection;
- temporarily discontinue the modem connection pursuant to the first request;
- and
- receive from the network device a warning message that a next request for temporarily discontinuing the modem connection will be denied.

- receiving from the modem a first request for temporarily discontinuing the modem connection;
- granting the first request and starting a timer;
- receiving from the modem a second request for temporarily discontinuing the modem connection again;
- consulting the timer to determine whether a log-in session timeout time limit has been exceeded;
- and
- if the log-in session timeout time limit has been exceeded, denying the second MOH request.
