Abstract
When an external terminal is signed on to a communications system, a voice link is set up between the external terminal and a teleworking subscriber line module of the communications system. Control information which is transferred in the form of DTMF signals from the external terminal via the voice link is converted at the teleworking subscriber line module into signaling information such as is usually available within the scope of a signaling protocol between internal terminals and the communications system.
