Patent number: 7742397Abstract: A system and method for delivering digital subscriber line (DSL) service to a subscriber. In a telecommunications network, the signal passing through a protector field is diverted to a cross connect block that can be selectively configured to establish a communication route between the cross connect block and a splitter selectively receiving a DSL signal. The combined signal is then placed back upon the network by the cross connect block, which directs the combined signal back to the protector field.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2008Date of Patent: June 22, 2010Assignee: ADC Telecommunications, Inc.Inventors: Bryan K. Kennedy, Richard Wolf

Patent number: 7684557Abstract: A system and method for delivering digital subscriber line (DSL) service to a subscriber from a remote terminal of a telephone network. Included is a first route for delivering a telephone signal to the subscriber, and a second route for passing the telephone signal through a DSL system before delivering the signal to the subscriber. A disrupter is then used to selectively activate either the first or second route.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2008Date of Patent: March 23, 2010Assignee: ADC Telecommunications, Inc.Inventors: Bryan K.

Publication number: 20010030521Abstract: A remotely controlled cross-connection switching matrix, particularly suited for telephone systems, has a jumper pin picker and placement mechanism selectively movable along each of three axes under the control of a single drive motor translating a single drive cable over a series of pulleys. Movement along the selected axis is effected by braking movement along the other two axes. The system provides a “soft dial tone” to prospective telephone subscribers' premises having cable pairs permanently connected to the matrix. The cable pair for the calling prospective subscriber is automatically identified at the matrix in response to an off-hook status for that prospective subscriber, and the cable pair identification data is automatically transmitted to the telephone business office.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2001Publication date: October 18, 2001Inventors: Douglas G. Hard, Bryan K. Kennedy, Arthur O. Miller

Patent number: 6253071Abstract: Automatic facility information transfer to remote locations in cross-connect systems is accomplished by providing limited telephone services to wired premises not having permanent telephone service by enabling 911 calls, calls requesting permanent service, operator-assisted telephone company credit card calls, and calls to repair/maintenance centers from personnel in the field. In response to off-hook conditions at prospective subscriber premises or service personnel handsets connected to cable pairs in the field, limited telephone services are provided by a matrix system. Cable pair designations and the dialed telephone number are ascertained to respectively access a database and look-up table to retrieve facility information and protocol information for subsequent transmission of the calling line telephone number and facility information to a paging system.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 1998Date of Patent: June 26, 2001Assignee: Con-X CorporationInventors: Douglas G.
