ABSTRACT:
In system having a plurality of telephones coupled to a communications controller which is connected to an integrated services digital network (ISDN) line of a telecommunications network, the ISDN line having two bearer channels of predetermined bandwidth and a data channel and the plurality of telephones being represented by a plurality of identifiers, a method for convenient incoming call acceptance comprises the communications controller associating each identifier for the plurality of telephones with a distinctive ring pattern. The controller receives, on the data channel, a dialed identifier of the plurality of identiers which was dialed in connection with an incoming call and rings all idle telephones of the plurality of telephones according to the distinctive ring pattern associated with the dialed identifier. The controller connects a first telephone of the idle telephones which goes off-hook, through a voice subchannel extracted from the bandwidth of the two bearer channels, to the incoming call.
