ABSTRACT:
A digital trunk interface utilizing the first protocol handler to signal the start of a packet and a second protocol handler responsive to the packet delayed to initiate the storage of the packet internally to the digital trunk interface. The digital trunk interface comprises a microprocessor and two universal synchronous asynchronous receiver transmitter (USART) circuits. One USART is directly connected to the incoming digital trunk and is utilized to inform the microprocessor when a packet is first received. The second USART receives the packet delayed by a predefined amount of time from the digital trunk. The microprocessor is responsive to the signal from the first USART that a packet has been received to perform the necessary administrative functions for receipt of the packet by the second USART.
