To facilitate the reversion of a communication to tandem operation (200), a first transcoder (20), having previously changed back to tandem operation (206), inverts bits (208) of a double-encoded frame format that correspond to synchronisation bits in a non-tandem, single-encoded frame format to generate errors, in relation to the synchronisation bits, at a second transcoder (34). Upon detection (210) of a predetermined number of errors in the synchronisation bits during a predetermined time, the second transcoder (34) reverts to tandem operation, as shown in the flow diagram of FIG. 2.
