Abstract: A line circuit whose circuit components are selectively controllable by a microprocessor/DSP to provide normal BORSCHT functions or to be selectively tested without need for an electromechanical relay to isolate the line circuit from the loop conductors. The conventional line transformer is advantageously replaced by a loop current feed resistor network and either a high voltage or a lower voltage battery may be connected to provide loop current to the resistor network through a current regulator circuit and battery switch circuit. In normal operation, an ac feedback path, which includes the line receive amplifier, increases the terminating impedance above the dc value of the feed resistors so the loop termination resistor network may match the characteristic impedance of the loop at the audio frequencies employed. In the testing mode, the microprocessor/DSP selectively applies or denies power to the line driving and receive amplifiers as well as to a level shifting circuit interposed between the codec analog output and the input to isolate or include these components or to provide a codec loop-back path. The condition of the dc feed resistors and protective fuses, the condition of the loop closure detector and of the ringing generator are reported to the microprocessor/DSP over the same terminal normally used for reporting the on-hook and off-hook status of the loop.

Abstract: Automatic management of a plurality of network devices is performed by sending customized event requests to the devices. The customized event requests specify variables and thresholds of interest to the device being managed. The customized event requests can be generated and fired by a network manager. Predefined event requests are read from computer memory. Each predefined event request includes a variable bindings list having at least one variable/threshold pair. The variable in each pair corresponds to a variable whose value is stored in the Management Information Base of a respective network device. The threshold in each pair is a threshold value for the variable in that pair. Each variable/threshold pair defines an event corresponding to the variable in the pair reaching a value having a predefined relationship to the threshold in the pair. Network devices are associated with the predefined event requests and the requests are sent to their associated devices. Response messages are then received from the devices in accordance with the predefined event requests sent to them and the status of the responding devices is indicated.

Abstract: A timer circuit (100) for controlling the volume of signals generated by the signal generator (220) of a communication device (101) at preprogrammed times is disclosed. The programmable timer circuit (100) monitors the communication link (103) for the presence of signals indicative of an incoming communication. When such signals are detected and the volume control state of the timer circuit (213) is ON the volume of the audible signals generated by the signal generator (220) of the communication device is adjusted so that such audible signals are broadcast with a programmed loudness. Volume control of the audible signals generated by the signal generator does not prevent outgoing communications using the communication device. The fact that the volume of the audible signals generated by the signal generator is controlled, is not apparent to the calling party. Incoming calls for which the volume of the audible signals generated by the signal generator have been controlled can be automatically forwarded to a locally connected answering machine (250). An override feature is provided that allows an audible signal indicative of an incoming call to be generated, even when the timer circuit is ON, if an authorized signal is detected (by 211).

Abstract: A Virtual Path Group (VPG) technique that utilizes network elements (NEs), i.e.,
nodes, that are visible to ATM specific defects, and allows for fast ATM virtual
connection/restoration with a minimum of processing. This is realized by employing a
Virtual Path Group transport architecture comprises at least one (1) working route, one
(1) protection route, and VPG bridge and selector functions at each end of the routes. It
is applicable to 1+1, mesh and ring protection switching and is extensible to any virtual
connection segment or end-to-end network (cross-subnetwork) virtual connections, and
extensible to 1:1 and M:N protection switching. Additionally, the protection switching
arrangement of the invention includes an architecture for the Virtual Path Group (VPG)
concept in which the associations among individual ATM virtual channels (VP/VCs) and
VPGs are maintained entirely within the network element management function. This
allows VPG support to be added to ATM systems and networks with minimum change
from current ATM standards. In particular, no changes are required to the Virtual Path
Identifier/Virtual Channel Identifier (VPI/VCI) addresses carried within each ATM cell
across ATM interfaces. Further, defect type indication is realized via a new, for example a
F4, segment level Operation and Maintenance (OAM) cell, to initiate the appropriate
restoration action downstream. The technique differentiates between physical layer and
ATM layer defects. An algorithm is employed in an embodiment of the invention to
determine appropriate VPG protection switch and signaling actions, driven by the F4
defect type OAM cells. Moreover, for interworking with physical layer protection (e.g.
SONET Bi-Directional Line Switched Ring (BLSR)), a VPG protection holdoff function
is employed at the VPG protection selector. A technical advantage of this protection
switching invention is that it provides extremely fast protection switching of an extremely
large number of ATM virtual connections.
