INTERNET TELEPHONY GATEWAY AND METHOD FOR DETECTING CONNECTION ERROR THEREOF

摘要

A method is provided for detecting connection errors in an Internet telephony gateway (ITG) including a subscriber line interface controller (SLIC). The method includes initializing the SLIC for enabling the SLIC to operate in a forward active state; determining a connection status of the port; enabling the SLIC to operate in a reverse active state if the port is connected; determining whether the SLIC is in an open state after setting the SLIC in the reverse active state; generating connection error information if the SLIC is in the open state, for indicating that a connection error has occurred in the port. An ITG employing the method is also provided.
