Abstract

A personal communications controller (PCC, 10) may be programmed with a customized service configuration (52) based on which telecommunications functions in connection with multiple telephone terminals (16) are managed.
The PCC system is designed to provide enhanced service value to all of the telephone terminals throughout a residence coupled to a single telephone communication line (12) entering the residence. The PCC may provide service differentiation on an individual basis to the telephone terminals and, furthermore, differentiated treatment may be effected on a per telephone call basis. The customized service configuration may be generated using a personal computer (20) from which it is downloaded to the PCC.
