Method and apparatus for transmitting data

A method and apparatus for transmitting a byte-organized serial data stream from a transmitting station to a receiving station that may employ byte boundaries different than the transmitting station. The technique includes sending N different data streams from the remote terminal, where N is the number of different framing alignments that may be imposed on the unframed data stream by the network. The different data streams are chosen so that one will be framed by the network as the intended data stream regardless of which framing alignment is actually imposed.

Method and apparatus for disabling an echo canceller on a digital telecommunications network

A method and apparatus for disabling an echo canceller in a framed digital network from a remote terminal that is copuled to the network through an unframed data link. Control is effected by sending N different bit sequences from the remote terminal, where N is the number of different framing alignments that may be imposed on the unframed data by the network. The different sequences are chosen so that one will be framed by the network as the requisite control tone regardless of which framing alignment is actually imposed.
