ABSTRACT:
A telephone communications switching system incorporating echo cancellers that may be replaced by other echo cancellers, and a method for replacing such echo cancellers are disclosed. The system comprises a control module for receiving and switching call data; and active and redundant echo cancellers. Under normal operation, an active echo canceller cancels echo in a call. A processor on the control module monitors the system and in the response to a sensed trigger event activates the redundant echo canceller and switches call data at the input of the active echo canceller to inputs of both the active and redundant echo cancellers. The processor then waits a determined amount of time; and thereafter disconnects the output of the active echo canceller from the control module and connects the output of the redundant echo canceller to the control module. By waiting, the processor allows the redundant echo canceller to become ready to cancel echo, before connecting the output of the redundant canceller to the control module. This may reduce the amount of time echo cancelling is not available for the call.
