摘要:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for data processing in a digital subscriber line environment are provided. In one aspect a method includes (i) determining a deterioration of a connection between a centralized unit and a decentralized unit during an initialization of the connection; and (ii) disabling the connection based on the deterioration.

The potential threat to digital radio baseband equipment from excessive currents in an electrical communication cable, due to a lightning strike at or near the top of an RF transceiver tower is avoided by replacing the electrical cable with a non-electrical signaling path, in particular a fiber optic signaling path. Power for the RF transceiver is conveyed to the tower in a separate electrical link. This serves to effectively electrically isolate baseband equipment from a potential source of potential lightning strikes, while at the same time providing full intra-communication connectivity within the digital radio.

Whether or not protection circuitry for a span-powered remote digital subscriber loop unit is properly connected to earth ground is determined by the deliberate assertion and detection of a ground fault from a central office line card location. The span-powered remote unit is augmented to place a controllable conduction path in circuit with the span-powered loop and an earth ground pin. If the earth ground pin has been properly connected to earth ground, applying the conductive path will place a ground fault on the span, which is detected by a ground fault detector within the central office line card. If the ground fault detector does not detect a ground fault in response to the application of the conductive path, the line card forwards a negative ground fault event message to a test center, so that a service technician may be dispatched to the remote unit to correct the problem.

A communication control mechanism installable in the communications controller of an ISDN terminal adapter is operative to conduct in-band communications with its digital terminal device during an internet communication session between the digital terminal device and a digital communication network interface of an internet service provider. The terminal adapter monitors the data link establishment communication exchange between the network access server and the personal computer, to identify and capture internet protocol addresses for the digital terminal device and the network access interface. These addresses are then used by the terminal adapter to communicate in-band with the digital terminal device using user datagram protocol (UDP)-based messages.

A power management circuit for a remote access platform extracts power from a wireline for powering a ring generator that generates a ringing voltage signal that is distributed to a plurality of subscriber circuits. A power-limited voltage converter steps up the wireline voltage to a higher nullisolatingnull voltage, charging a capacitor coupled to the ring generator. A monitor circuit reduces the power that the power-limited voltage converter can draw, if the wireline voltage drops too low. This prevents the wireline voltage from collapsing should the remote terminal be deployed at a distance from wireline voltage source (the central office) greater than its specified capability.

A voice path direct memory access (DMA)-based packet generation mechanism writes digitally encoded voice samples directly into prescribed subportions of a preallocated portion of random access memory, to avoid interrupting a main processor for the purpose. A pointer to a respective buffer space subportion is presented to a protocol stack, so that one or more overhead bytes for the stored voice samples can be generated and written into adjacent address space of the preallocated portion of random access memory. The contents of the preallocated memory space are then serialized out for transmission to a destination receiver.
摘要:
A ground fault current-limiting circuit for limiting telecommunication wireline voltage and ground fault current to prescribed safety parameters has a ground fault current sense resistor and associated line voltage control circuit installed in a ground-coupling link to the center tap of the output winding of a bipolar voltage converter's output transformer. The control circuit compares ground fault current of either polarity flowing through the sense resistor to a prescribed value. In response to this current limit being exceeded, the control circuit produces an output signal that causes the power source to reduce its output voltage so that the ground fault current will drop to within acceptable limits.

A (DS3) network interface unit (NIU) by-pass architecture places the NIU on its own circuit card and exclusive of by-pass switching (and relay) components, which are installed in the equipment shelf, proper, so that physical removal of the NIU card will leave the by-pass circuitry intact. The by-pass circuit responds to an abnormality of the NIU card, such as malfunction or physical removal of the NIU from its card slot, and also to a power supply failure. It also contains an indicator to draw attention to a failed NIU, increasing the likelihood that someone will notice a damaged card.
摘要:
An upstream transceiver, coupled to an upstream end of a long haul, single digital subscriber loop of an extended range asymmetrical digital subscriber line communication system, nullspoofsnull a (co-located) digital subscriber line access multiplexer to reduce its downstream data rate over a short haul loop to the upstream transceiver. The reduced downstream data rate is compatible with the data rate that can be supported by the long haul loop and also accommodates an auxiliary (64K) POTS channel thereover. The reduced data rate may be derived by preliminary signal quality measurements upon the long communication loop conducted between the upstream transceiver and a downstream transceiver coupled to a remote end of the long haul loop.
摘要:
Relatively low cost asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) service and auxiliary POTS service are delivered over extended distances (e.g., at least 20-25 kft), by a hybrid ADSL-SDSL architecture insertable between central office and remote sites of an ADSL system. Central office and remote site transceivers employ trellis coded pulse amplitude modulation and a data rate that conforms with the signal transport capability of an extended distance symmetric DSL (SDSL) loop, while providing a 64K POTS channel. The central office and remote site transceivers controllably insert idle asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) cells in upstream and downstream ADSL channels to compensate for timing differences with ADSL equipment.
