Publication number: 20140307743Abstract: An automated conversion method and apparatus are provided to automatically detect the type of an incoming signal (e.g., SONET or Ethernet signal) at a site and to encapsulate outgoing data, or not, based on that detection to facilitate conversion to new infrastructure (e.g., TDM to Ethernet). The automatic detection can be achieved by alternating a search for a first or second protocol signals (e.g., a SONET signal or Ethernet signal) received after a loss of signal or other similar event. Diagnostics of any prior valid transmission are retained in case the disruption was due to transmission quality problem rather than a change in the transmission protocol (e.g., SONET to Ethernet). An FPGA can have firmware configured as necessary to support either an IP or TDM configuration when change is detected in the format of the signal arriving at the optical port of the premises device.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2014Publication date: October 16, 2014Inventors: Peter Bradley Schmitz, David Owen Corp

Patent number: 8687504Abstract: A system and method provide enhanced link loss forwarding in an Ethernet system to determine link degradation and to selectively block and re-establish transport between a near end device and far end device based on a SONET connection between end devices and link status detection using local packets. When an excessive number of errors are detected in an Ethernet port, a device enters a Links Off mode from a Transport mode where Ethernet ports are turned off at both ends of a circuit associated with the errors. A Block Transport mode is then entered where local packets (e.g., OAM packets) are monitored to evaluate link quality (e.g., SONET bit error rate). Transport mode is re-established when acceptable link quality is achieved for a selected period of time.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2012Date of Patent: April 1, 2014Assignee: Hubbell IncorporatedInventors: Gary Michael Miller, David Owen Corp

Patent number: 7738511Abstract: A system and method for transmitting DS3 signals over long distances over a plurality of twisted pair conductors is provided. A DS3 interface is provided. The DS3 signal is inversely multiplexed into a plurality of data streams. Overhead is added to the data streams to generate packets having stream identifiers and packet number identifiers. At the receive end, received packets are synchronized using the stream and packet number identifiers, and multiplexed back into a DS3 signal. Systems according to embodiments of the invention are compatible with existing loopback codes, passing through a first loopback code received, and optionally entering a loopback mode where more than one loopback code is received consecutively without an intervening loop down code being received. The incorporated technology permits very small packaging and thereby permits use in small outdoor enclosures.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2003Date of Patent: June 15, 2010Assignee: Hubbell IncorporatedInventors: Zhangyi Wu, Gary Michael Miller, James Edward Sclater, Filiz Taskin, David Owen Corp
