摘要： A method and apparatus for testing communications within a broadband network between a network edge device and a customer premises device. Network data traffic is diverted from the customer premises device to a test device. The test device emulates the customer premises device through the use of identifying data associated with the customer premises device. In one embodiment, data is diverted from the customer premises device to a test port loop back converter, which performs a DSL conversion of the data. The converted data is backhauled from the test port loop back converter to a test network edge device. The data is then sent from the test network edge device to a test customer premises device. The test customer premises device can be located at a site remote from the network edge device or can be collocated with and directly coupled to the network edge device.

摘要： The present invention is directed to an intranet for providing on-demand Internet access to subscribers which includes a service node and a plurality of subscriber terminals coupled to the service node by corresponding xDSL lines. In turn, the service node includes a switch coupled to the xDSL lines, a gateway coupled to the Internet, a router which couples the switch to the gateway and a bandwidth measurement server coupled to the gateway. The bandwidth measurement server determines upload and/or download data transfer rates between the service node and requesting ones of said the subscriber terminals coupled thereto.

摘要： A method for activating an alarm based on a series of error counts generated by a monitoring device, including an integrator, an accumulator, and an alarm. The integrator adjusts the error count and produces an adjusted count, which it then sends to the accumulator. The accumulator keeps a running total of the adjusted counts and can activate the alarm when the running total exceeds a predetermined alarm level. The adjustment of the error count by the integrator is accomplished by a set of formulas that use a set of variables. The values for these variables can be derived through a series of calculations or can be chosen by a user. The ability to adjust the error counts allows the user to better control the circumstances that cause activation of an alarm.
