Abstract
A multi-modal digital terminal adapter (DTA), and associated methods and computer-readable media, are disclosed for determining a current mode of operation of the DTA, selectively activating and/or deactivating one or more receiving modules based at least in part on the current mode of operation, and routing an incoming signal to one or more receiving modules based at least in part on one or more characteristics of the signal to initiate processing of the signal in accordance with the current mode of operation for the multi-modal DTA.
