  • Patent number: 8320527
    Abstract: A system and method for detecting crossover faults in a telecommunications access network having a plurality of access lines. Each access line includes a pair of wires for connection to a user terminal, e.g. a telephone handset. The system includes a monitor for monitoring each of the access lines to detect the presence of an off-hook state; a current sensor for each of the access lines for determining a fault condition on an access line for which an off-hook state has been detected when a imbalance is detected between currents in the wires of the access line; a controller for generating a report of each fault condition determined on an access line, in which each report comprises a time record relating to the time of generation of the report; and a crossover fault detector for recording a possible crossover fault involving two access lines upon the reporting within a set time period of one or more fault condition on each of the two access lines.

  • Patent number: 6016339
    Abstract: A telecommunications network includes digital main switching units and local exchanges. The local exchange is arranged to permit alternative alert signals to consumer premises by way of the local loop. The alternative signals may be cadenced to provide information to apparatus connected in a consumer's premises without causing activation of traditional telephone, facsimile or answering machines. Such information may be supplemented by the presence or absence of a line polarity reversal before the activation signal is sent and by modulated signals, such as FSK signalling.
