Publication number: 20050249332Abstract: A test set includes at least one signal input port, a test circuitry, a processor, a user-input device, and a display. The test circuitry couples to and receives signals from the at least one signal input port. The test circuitry then generates test data corresponding to the received signals. The processor couples to and receives test data from the test circuitry and generates test results. The processor also couples to and receives commands from the user-input device. The processor further operatively couples to the graphical display that receives and displays the test results from the processor. In one embodiment, the test set is capable of performing line qualification and connectivity testing. A modem module can be used to facilitate connectivity testing. The modem module can be a plug-in module with a common interface to the test set. The modem module can also contain a fingerprint value that identifies the module type and the software revision number to the test set.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 5, 2005Publication date: November 10, 2005Applicant: Sunrise Telecom, Inc.Inventors: Paul Chang, Tom Dang, Chi Wu

Patent number: 6434221Abstract: A Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer includes a set of line cards, a set of xDSL modem cards, a redundant xDSL modem card, a test and switching unit, a control unit, and a trunk unit. Each line card may include a switch, through which the control unit may selectively direct the line card to couple to a corresponding xDSL modem card or a redundancy bus. The test and switching unit is coupled to the redundancy bus, and includes a relay matrix and a Copper Loop Tester (CLT). In response to commands received from the control unit, the relay matrix may route redundancy bus signals to the CLT and/or the redundant xDSL modem card. The CLT performs tests to measure or determine subscriber loop electrical characteristics in response to control unit commands, and returns test results to the control unit.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2000Date of Patent: August 13, 2002Assignee: Sunrise Telecom, Inc.Inventor: Raymond L.

Patent number: 6417672Abstract: A method for detecting the presence of a bridge tap and other types of fault in a transmission line. Initially, test signals of predetermined frequencies are transmitted into a transmitting end of the transmission line. The test signals are received at a receiving end of the transmission line and the amplitudes of the received signal are measured. A frequency response of the transmission line is computed based on the measured amplitudes. The frequency response is then analyzed for the presence of a frequency-domain signature that corresponds to one of the detectable types of fault. The presence of a bridge tap or another type of fault is identified based on the detected frequency-domain signature. The frequency-domain signature associated with a bridge tap can comprise a set of one or more attenuation dips in the frequency response, with each attenuation dip corresponding to a local minima in the frequency response.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2000Date of Patent: July 9, 2002Assignee: Sunrise Telecom, Inc.Inventor: Raymond L.

Patent number: 5619489Abstract: A graphically configurable method and device for testing high-frequency (DS0, DS1, DS3, and SONET) communication networks is disclosed. The foregoing is accomplished by a microprocessor controlled test instrument configured through a graphical interface which selects signal paths and test parameters. The graphical interface intelligently presents the choices of paths and test parameters relevant for the current test configuration.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 1995Date of Patent: April 8, 1997Assignee: Sunrise Telecom, Inc.Inventors: Paul K.
