Abstract: The invention concerns a non intrusive control process of an xDSL transmission line from signals and messages exchanged between at least one emitter (1) to at least one receiver (2) at the end of or during a predefined handshaking procedure. This process comprises the following steps: a1. Analysing the type of signals exchanged between the emitter (1) and the receiver (2) during the establishment of the new contact, b1. Establishing a diagnosis on the state of the line according to the result of step b1.
Abstract: A device for checking a transmission line carrying a plurality of digital and/or analogue transmission channels is provided. The device includes a measurement block designed to evaluate performances, search for faults and determine the quality of the line and services transmitted through the said line. A system for measuring disturbances is also provided. The system measures disturbances in a transmission line firstly connecting a subscriber to a high speed server through an xDSL modem, and secondly to a switched telephone network.
