  • the present invention relates generally to providing DSL service over telephone wires, and more particularly to a system and method for automatically detecting DSL service on multiple telephone lines.
  • DSL Digital Subscriber Line
  • DSL Different versions include, for example, ADSL (Asymmetrical DSL) , CDSL (Consumer DSL) , HDSL (High Bit Rate DSL) , and VDSL (Very High Bit Rate DSL) .
  • ADSL Asymmetrical DSL
  • CDSL Conssumer DSL
  • HDSL High Bit Rate DSL
  • VDSL Very High Bit Rate DSL
  • ADSL generally permits data to ride over the same telephone lines as voice communications with the voice and data signals being split apart at both the customer' s side and the telephone company' s side.
  • DSL typically permits one to access information over the Internet at rates typically about 10 times faster than rates associated with conventional 56.6K analog mo ⁇ ems in some applications.
  • Another advantage is that DSL usually does not interfere with regular voice-band or POTS telephone or facsimile machine use so that a single telephone line may be used to access the Internet and conduct a telephone call at the same time. For these reasons, and perhaps other reasons, DSL service is becoming increasingly popular in that many households and businesses are signing up for DSL service to be provided to them over a telephone line.

  • the DSL modem mechanical relays are turned on after the DSL modem has identified, or detected, the telephone line having DSL service.
  • Mechanical relays typically have a very low, or negligible, insertion impedance and, therefore, do not significantly impair or attenuate DSL signals that pass over them. Because mechanical relays may generate audible noise when performing their switching function, they are switched in and turned on after the line having DSL service has been identified, or detected, to reduce or avoid the generation of potentially disturbing audible noise by the mechanical relay. Accordingly, m operation, the DSL modem is connected to multiple telephone lines.
  • a solid state relay disposed within the DSL modem then periodically switches between the multiple telephone lines and selectively probes for DSL service on each of these lines until identifying, or detecting, the line on which DSL service is present. After the DSL modem has identified the telephone line having the DSL service, a mechanical relay is positioned in the same position as the solid state relay and turned on.

Abstract

Système et procédé de détection automatique d'un service de ligne numérique (DSL) sur des lignes téléphoniques multiples. Un modem DSL est couplé aux lignes téléphoniques multiples et sonde périodiquement les lignes jusqu'à l'identification de la ligne à laquelle le service DSL est associé. Dans un mode de réalisation, le modem DSL comporte des relais destinés à commuter périodiquement la connexion entre les lignes jusqu'à ce que la ligne à laquelle le service DSL est associé soit identifiée. Le modem DSL sonde chacune des lignes en vue de la détection d'un service DSL en émettant des tonalités d'activation sur chacune des lignes et en attendant une réponse du service DSL. Pour réduire la quantité de bruit audible associée aux relais de commutation et pour réduire l'affaiblissement d'insertion dû aux relais, il est possible d'employer à la fois des relais à semi-conducteurs et mécaniques. Les relais à semi-conducteurs effectuent la fonction de sondage du modem DSL puisqu'ils peuvent commuter périodiquement et silencieusement entre les lignes téléphoniques multiples. Puis, une fois que le modem DSL a identifié la ligne téléphonique sur laquelle le service DSL est présent, les relais mécaniques sont mis en marche pour éviter le fort affaiblissement d'insertion associé aux relais à semi-conducteurs.
