An apparatus and method for realizing the access of a legacy terminal to an IMS system. The apparatus includes a session control module, a downlink signaling interface function module, a downlink bearer interface function module, an uplink signaling interface function module, an uplink bearer interface function module and a media interworking module. The session control module registers the terminal that has entered service status to the I-CSCF on IMS side. During the session, the uplink signaling interface function module provides SIP signaling interaction with the CSCF function entity of IMS core network; the downlink signaling interface function module provides signaling interaction with the legacy terminal; the media interworking module provides the connection and media adaptation between the uplink bearer interface function module and the downlink bearer interface function module. The invention enables the services of the legacy networks such as PSTN/ISDN and the like to be integrated with those of IMS networks, thus reducing the cost of network construction and operation.
