Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for providing a “lifeline” service to a VoDSL customer despite an electrical power outage or integrated access device failure at the customer premise. A bypass function is implemented in an integrated access device at the customer premise to provide the lifeline service. The bypass function is preferably a relay, which can be automatically activated to provide the lifeline service under various conditions. The bypass relay, working in conjunction with systems in the central office and the regional switching center allows the customer to obtain an active telephone line during power outages or integrated access device failures. Electrical power is also supplied to the customer's premise from the central office, thereby allowing the customer to use a telephone line in the traditional manner. The present invention can further be implemented for any number of customers and telephone lines.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a remotely actuated splitter bypass function (RASB) working in conjunction with a test head at the central office for testing and maintaining copper loops in the digital subscriber line environment. The RASB allows a competitive local exchange carrier to test and maintain the xDSL portion of the copper loop with minimal interference and disturbance to/from the plain old telephone system (POTS) service by bypassing the central office splitter. The splitter bypass operation includes the steps of selecting a copper loop pair for testing, actuating a first relay for monitor mode, actuating a second relay for bypass mode, testing the selected copper loop, and resetting the first and second relays back to normal mode. By applying positive and negative voltages from the tip and ring with respect to ground, various relays can be set (actuated) and reset to provide multiple modes of operations. In this manner, relays can be designed to respond in certain voltage levels and polarities.

Abstract: The invention presented herein is directed to a remotely addressable maintenance unit (RAMU) working in conjunction with a test head at the central office for detecting and locating faults in digital subscriber loop (DSL) and/or plain old telephone system (POTS) environments. The RAMU includes circuitry for setting and resetting one or more relays for either normal or testing/maintenance mode. The present invention provides a system and method for addressing the RAMU by applying either positive or negative voltages from the tip to ground, from ring to ground, and from tip and ring to ground. In this manner, individual RAMUs can be defined/designed to respond in certain voltage levels and polarities. Accurate fault detection and sectionalization is achieved by the combination of the addressing capabilities enumerated herein, and the impedance signature designed into the RAMU, working in concert with a test head in the central office.

Abstract: An interface circuit for a subscriber line circuit employs a controllable amplifier including a switching converter. The switching converter includes a capacitor coupled across a two-wire subscriber line and supplies an auxiliary voltage to the line. The amplifier includes an input adder having an output coupled to the switching converter for controlling the magnitude of the auxiliary voltage with one input of the adder adapted to receive a feedback control signal which is developed by monitoring the voltage across the output. Another input to the adder receives line input signals for the line circuit. The amplifier is controlled in operation by an off hook detector which provides an output signal when the subscriber line goes off hook to cause the amplifier to operate and further includes ring control logic which is also coupled to the amplifier and activates the amplifier during the presence of a ring control signal. In this manner, the amplifier is operative only during an off hook condition of the line and during ringing generation. The amplifier, based on its structure in the line circuit, provides all basic line functions such as DC current, ringing, voice and remote metering signals.
