Abstract
An apparatus for using multiple call controllers of voice-band calls is provided. The apparatus includes a first protocol endpoint, a second protocol endpoint, and a protocol adapter. The first protocol endpoint is configured to receive at least one first external message from a first call controller and to map the first external message to at least one corresponding first internal call control message. The second protocol endpoint is configured to receive at least one second external message from an integrated access device and to map the at least one second external message to at least one corresponding second internal call control message. The protocol adapter is configured to receive the first and the second internal messages and to route the first and the second internal messages to the appropriate one of the first and second endpoints.
