A terminal adapter interfaces between a Data Terminating Equipment (DTE) and either a Frame Relay (FR) or a Switched Multimegabit Data Service (SMDS) telecommunications network so that the type of network over which the DTE is communicating is transparent to the DTE. The TA performs mapping from one protocol to another so that a native FR DTE can access an SMDS network and so that a native SMDS DTE can access a FR network.

Why it's free to use
- Filed March 5, 1993 and granted May 12, 1998. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended March 5, 2013.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by March 5, 2015.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
