Method and apparatus for providing integrated voice and data services over a common interface device

A method, comprising:

• determining, at a processor, whether a call from a packet switched network is to a called party device on the packet switched network or to a called party device on a non-packet switched network;
• routing, at the processor, the call to the called party device residing on the packet switched network if the call is to a called party device on the packet switched network;
• converting, at the processor, signaling of the call from packet switched network signaling to non-packet switched network signaling if the call is to a called party device on a non-packet switched network, the converting step includes,
• obtaining an address specification parameter associated with the call based on signaling of the packet switched network,
• determining whether the address specification parameter corresponds to a directory number compatible with the non-packet switched network, and
• specifying a terminating trunk group of the non-packet switched network based on the determination;
• and
• routing, at the processor, the call to the called party device on the non-packet switched network.

A method, comprising:

• routing, at a processor, a first call, received from a device on a first packet switched network, to a second packet switched network;
• converting, at the processor, signaling of a second call, received from a device on a second packet switched network, from packet switched network signaling to a non-packet switched network signaling, if the second call is destined to a called party device on the non-packet switched network, the conversion including,
• obtaining an address specification parameter associated with the second call based on signaling of the second packet switched network,
• determining whether the address specification parameter corresponds to a directory number compatible with the non-packet switched network, and
• specifying a terminating trunk group of the non-packet switched network based on the determination;
• and
• routing, at the processor, the second call to the non-packet switched network.
