摘要： A system and method for electronically identifying connections established through a cross-connect system provides for identification of all hard-wired and temporary patch connections, and any modifications made to same. Connection identification and status information is acquired in near real-time and stored in a database which is accessible by a user through a graphical user interface (GUI). The TRACE or lamp wires which connect respective pairs of cross-connect circuits are utilized in an unconventional manner so as to form a scanning bus. The information signal paths established through the cross-connect circuits remain undisturbed. A scanning signal is communicated between each pair of cross-connected circuits over the TRACE conductor. In the event a patch cord is used to temporarily redirect a signal connection, the scanning signal is transmitted over the shield or sleeve conductor of the patch cord. The scanning signal provides identification and other information concerning the transmitting circuit.

摘要： System resources are pooled and allocated in an optimal manner to handling telephone voice traffic or to handling computer data traffic. A combination of mechanisms is used to achieve higher statistical multiplexing on a network interface by dynamically adjusting the multiplexing. The system: 1) Provides homogeneous access to DS0 trunk resource by both voice and data traffic, resulting in a larger resource pool. 2) Partially normalizes the class of service characteristics of data traffic to make it more predictable and can dynamically adjust the bandwidth such that requests for resources can be honored with a higher success rate, and 3) Maintains multiple qualities of service for multiple voice and data streams drawing from a single resource pool. Data traffic is normalized into flows, each of which has an assigned priority and bandwidth is allocation to each of the flows.

摘要： A system and method for accessing a number of communication lines by one or more testing devices are disclosed. Each of the communications lines is coupled through the system and includes a first termination at a first telecommunications termination site and a second termination at a second telecommunications termination site. The system includes a number of line access devices, each of which is coupled to at least one of the communication lines terminating at the first telecommunications termination site and at least one of the communication lines terminating at the second telecommunications termination site. One or more monitoring busses are defined by a number of relays, one or more of which is coupled to one of the line access devices. A test device interface, which is selectively coupled to the bus, provides bi-directional connectivity between the selected communication line and a selected testing device coupled thereto. An activated one or more of the relays couples a selected one of the communication lines to a selected one of the testing devices via the test device interface. A single or multiple patch capability provides for manually establishing cross-connections between selected communication lines and for redirecting communication line connections to selected testing devices. The test access system and method accommodates various high speed digital transmission line protocols. The transmission lines coupled through the system may comprise high speed digital transmission lines characterized by transmission rates on the order of tens, hundreds or thousands of megabits per second (Mbps).

摘要： A method and apparatus for automated sectionalization of a DS1/DS3 data path based upon information received at a single location along the path. A test and monitor device is located at a point of demarcation between an LEC and an IEC. A Remote Module is located at a point of demarcation between the LEC and CPE. The test and monitor device is fully ANSI compatible. The information that is received is processed in a three step process in order to generate a “Sectionalizer Report”. In preparing the Sectionalizer Report, the information output from a filter is used to determine where particular Events originated.

摘要： A modular test instrument comprises a base unit and one of a selection of application modules, neither being capable of performing end-user functions without the other. When physically assembled to one another, the base unit and application module comprise a structurally unitary device specialized for performance of application-specific end-user functions. The base unit is generic to all types of test to be provided, and comprises a display, a power supply, a user interface, and generic software to operate the display and user interface. Each application module is connected to the base unit in the same manner, so that the same base unit can be employed with a wide variety of application modules. The application modules can be readily and conveniently removed from and assembled to the base unit. The application-specific application modules each include a physical interface for establishing signal-communicating connection to the equipment to be tested, and application-specific program data and software, including information required to provide appropriate test signals, test messages, and the like. Each application module also stores user interface software for providing an application-specific user interface. When an application module is assembled to a base unit, polling software comprised by the base unit determines the identity of the application module, and determines whether it stores any software or other program data not previously copied to the base unit's memory; if not, the copying step is begun automatically upon assembly.

摘要： A performance monitoring arrangement conducts auxiliary communications between a performance-monitoring capable line interface unit and one or more performance-monitoring capable channel units of a D4 channel bank without interrupting transmission of digital data to and from a customer premises. During each of an initialization mode and a performance-monitoring mode, the data communication format of a channel bank bus is modified to allow insertion of an auxiliary line interface unit-sourced command bit between selected bits of the data. During the performance-monitoring mode, the communication format of the channel bank link is further modified to provide for insertion of a response bit from a channel unit and the transmission of data at an increased data rate. In the absence of an indication that there is an anomaly that would impair the operation of the channel bank, the channel unit transitions to a performance-monitoring mode of operation. If either of the channel unit and line interface unit is not capable of conducting performance-monitoring communications with one another, and in the absence of an indication that there is an anomaly that would impair the operation of the channel bank, the channel unit transitions from the initialization state to a normal mode of operation.

摘要： A performance monitoring arrangement conducts auxiliary in-band communications between a line interface unit and one or more channel units of a D4 channel bank without interrupting transmission of digital data to and from a customer premises. During a first, initialization mode of operation, and a second, smart performance-monitoring mode, the data communication format of a channel bank RNPCM bus is modified to allow insertion of an auxiliary line interface unit-sourced command bit between selected bits of the data. During the second mode of operation, the communication format of the channel bank link is further modified to provide for the transmission of the data at an increased data rate. This increased data rate permits a response message bit from the channel unit to be asserted on the RNPCM bus during a first time interval separate from that occupied by the increased rate data. During the smart mode, the line interface unit also controllably asserts a yellow alarm code signal onto the RNPCM bus during a second time interval that is separate from the first time interval and that occupied by successive bits of increased rate data.
