A telecommunication terminal device includes a network connection unit
having at least a first pin and a second pin to which a public telephone
network is connected, and a third pin and a fourth pin through which a
first external terminal device of a first type is connected to the first
and the second pins; a first switching unit for selectively connecting
the public telephone network with the first external terminal device and
a second external terminal device of a second type; a first external
terminal connection unit having a fifth pin and a sixth pin through which
the second external terminal device is connected to the first and the
second pins; and a feeding circuit connected to the first and the second
pins to keep flow of currents provided from the public telephone network.
The telecommunication terminal device is capable of exchanging
telecommunication signals regardless of serial or parallel connection to
additional external terminal devices.
