摘要:
A communication server includes a modem pool (652) that comprises a plurality of XDSL modems (660). The communication server also includes a plurality of line interface modules (650). Each line interface module (650) has a plurality of inputs each coupled to a twisted pair data line and has a plurality of outputs each coupled to one of the XDSL modems (660). Each line interface module (650) operates to detect a need for data service on a requesting twisted pair data line and to couple the requesting twisted pair data line to an output associated with a selected XDSL modem (660). A controller (653) is coupled to the XDSL modems (660) and to the plurality of line interface modules (650). The controller (653) operates to select one of the XDSL modems (660) in response to a detected need for data service. The controller (653) further operates to direct the line interface module (650) to which a requesting twisted pair data line is coupled to couple the requesting twisted pair data line to the output associated with the selected XDSL modem (660).

A communication server (58) is provided that includes a plurality of line interface units (500) each coupled to an associated twisted pair data line (54) and to an associated receive data pair (506) and transmit data pair (504). A plurality of XDSL modems (510) are coupled to associated modem receive data pairs (514) and transmit data pairs (512).

摘要:
A communication server (58) using digital signal switching is provided. A plurality of twisted pair subscriber lines are split into twisted pair data lines (54) and twisted pair phone lines (52). Analog signals received on the twisted pair data lines (54) are converted into incoming parallel digital words and outgoing parallel digital words are converted into analog signals for transmission on the twisted pair data lines (54) using first converters (614) coupled to each twisted pair data line (54). The incoming parallel digital words are converted into incoming serial bit streams and outgoing serial bit streams are converted into the outgoing parallel digital words using second converters (616) coupled to the first converters (614). A need for data service is detected on a selected twisted pair data line (54), and one of the XDSL modems (620) is selected in response to detecting the need for data service. The selected XDSL modem (620) is then coupled to a second converter (616) associated with the selected twisted pair data line (54) where the selected XDSL modem (620) receives the incoming serial bit stream from and provides the outgoing serial bit stream to the associated second converter (616).

A communication server (58) includes a plurality of pairs of frequency agile modulators (638) and demodulators (640) each set to operate at a unique frequency and associated with a twisted pair data line (54). The communication server (58) also includes a plurality of pairs of demodulators (644) and modulators (646) that each have a designatable operation frequency and are associated with one of a plurality of XDSL modems (648). A mixer (642) operates to combine signals from the frequency agile modulators (638) and provide the combined signal to the demodulators (644). The mixer (642) further operates to combine signals from the modulators (646) and provide the combined signal to the frequency agile demodulators (640). A detector (634) operates to detect a need for data service on a selected twisted pair data line (54). The controller (636) then operates to couple the selected twisted pair data line (54) to the selected XDSL modem (648) by designating the demodulator (644) and modulator (646) pair associated with the selected XDSL modem (648) to operate at the unique frequency of the frequency agile modulator (638) and demodulator (640) associated with the selected twisted pair data line (54).

摘要:
A system for processing an input signal communicated on a telephone line includes an input node to receive the input signal. The input signal comprises a first component associated with a first frequency band, a second component associated with a second frequency band higher than the first frequency band, and a third component associated with a third frequency band higher than the second frequency band. A first filter coupled to the input node receives the input signal, attenuates the first and third components, and communicates a first signal substantially comprising the second component. A second filter coupled to the input node receives the input signal, attenuates the second component, and communicates a second signal substantially comprising the first and third components. A third filter coupled to the second filter receives the second signal, attenuates the third component, and communicates a third signal substantially comprising the first component. An intermediate node coupled between the second and third filter may also couple to a fourth filter having an input capacitance that limits the ability of the third filter to pass the second component. In a more particular embodiment, the system is a POTS splitter, the first component is an analog telephone signal, the second component is a tax/billing tone, and the third signal is a digital data signal.

摘要:
A method, computer program product and system for monitoring and locating an object using secure communications without relying on GPS. A monitoring device may activate a monitored unit (unit monitored by monitoring device) by transmitting a seed of an algorithm and a time synchronization to the monitored unit. The seed and time synchronization may be used in conjunction with an algorithm, e.g., frequency hopping table, stored in both the monitoring device and the monitored unit, to allow both the monitoring device and the monitored unit to communicate with one another at a uniquely synchronized time and frequency thereby making it more difficult for a third party to locate the monitored unit. An alert may be generated when the monitored unit is located beyond a predetermined zone. The monitored unit may be located by activating a directional antenna in conjunction with a digital compass on the monitoring device.
