5.3.3 Packet Voice Router
The packet voice router controls the flow of compressed voice packets
through the FAA20. The router has three ports: the vocoder port (VOC),
the nibble port (NIB), and the external communication port (COM).

Unlike the mixer, each output port can be connected to one and only one
input port. Although the output port is limited to one connection, the input
port can have multiple connections. For example, the VOC input port can
be routed to both the NIB port and the COM port.
Although the router contains three ports, only the NIB and VOC ports are
functional when not in the TEST mode. Only in TEST mode does the
FAA20 software forward packets between the COM queue and the serial
port. In this mode and when TEST BITEXACT is enabled, the queue data
is forwarded to the serial port for vector testing.
5.3.4 PCM Rate Adapter
The PCM rate adapter converts 8 ksps linear voice data to 6.67 ksps, the
sample rate required for truncated timing mode. The rate adapter is useful
for implementations that require constant rate PCM interface while
supporting both normal and truncated timing modes. For example, external
digitally interfaced telecommunication equipment typically supports voice
sampled at a fixed rate of 8 kbps. The rate adapter is supported for the
PCM linear interface only. The analog linear interface does not require a
rate adapter since its sample rate can be adjusted as needed.
The PCM rate adapter is implemented with a multi-rate filter which includes
interpolation, decimation, and filter components. The rate adapter adjusts
the sample rate by the factor L/M, i.e., a ratio of two integers. Since the
truncated timing mode requires a rate reduction from 4.8 kbps to 4.0 kbps
