Equivalent working length determinative system for digital subscriber line circuits
First Claim
1. An equivalent working length determinative system for use in a digital subscriber line telecommunication network comprising:
- (a) a digital subscriber line circuit comprising;
at least one customer site comprising;
customer premises equipment receiving and transmitting communication signals and generating a first attenuation signal in response to said communication signals;
at least one remote terminal forming at least one loop with said at least one customer site and having a loop length, said at least one remote terminal comprising;
a remote terminal transceiver in communication with said customer premises equipment; and
(b) a main controller electrically coupled to said customer premises equipment and determining an equivalent working length (EWL) of said at least one loop in response to said first attenuation signal.

Abstract
An equivalent working length (EWL) determinative system (11) for use in a digital subscriber line (DSL) telecommunication network (10) is provided. The EWL system (11) includes a DSL circuit (32) having a customer site (14) with customer premises equipment (30). The customer premises equipment (30) receives and transmits communication signals and generates a first attenuation signal in response to the communication signals. A remote terminal (20) forms a loop (31) with the customer site (14) and has a loop length. The remote terminal (20) includes a remote terminal transceiver (40) that is in communication with the customer premises equipment (30). A main controller (37) is electrically coupled to the customer premises equipment (30) and determines an EWL of the loop (31) in response to the first attenuation signal. A method of performing the same is also provided.
