  • Method and system for provisioning digital subscriber line facilities
    Publication number: 20020168054
    Abstract: A method and system include receiving at a provisioning server a service order to implement an asynchronous digital subscriber line (DSL) service from a service order entry system. The provisioning server identifies and assigns multiple facilities needed to implement the service order, including a remote terminal connectable to a terminal of a DSL subscriber and an optical concentrator device connectable to the remote terminal. The provisioning server determines an interface corresponding to each of the facilities, which are configured, based on interface specific instructions from the provisioning server, to implement the service order.
