Method and system for rehoming a digital subscriber line access Multiplexer
First Claim
1. A method for rehoming a digital subscriber line access multiplexer between a first data switch and a second data switch, the method comprising:
- establishing an extension permanent virtual circuit between the first data switch and the second data switch;
establishing a physical loop-back circuit at the second data switch for routing data from an output port of the second data switch to a temporary input port of the second data switch;
removing a permanent virtual circuit between a data switch servicing a network service provider and the first data switch;
establishing a permanent virtual circuit between the data switch servicing the network service provider and said second data switch;
routing data between the network service provider and the digital subscriber line access multiplexer via the permanent virtual circuit between the data switch servicing the network service provider and the second data switch, the physical loop-back circuit, and the extension permanent virtual circuit;
establishing a data connection between the second data switch and the digital subscriber line access multiplexer;
routing data between the network service provider and the digital subscriber line access multiplexer via the permanent virtual circuit between the data switch servicing the network service provider and the second data switch, and the data connection between the second data switch and the digital sub scriber line access multiplexer; and
removing the extension permanent virtual circuit between the first data switch and the second data switch.

Abstract
A method and system are provided for rehoming a digital subscriber line access multiplexer between a first data switch and a second data switch or ports on a single data switch. An extension permanent virtual circuit is established between the first data switch and the second data switch and a physical loop-back circuit is established at the second data switch for routing data from an output port of the second data switch to a temporary input port. A permanent virtual circuit between a data switch servicing a network service provider and the first data switch is removed, and a permanent virtual circuit between the data switch servicing the network service provider and the second data switch is established. Data is then routed between the network service provider and the digital subscriber line access multiplexer via the permanent virtual circuit between the data switch servicing the network service provider and the second data switch, the physical loop-back circuit, and the extension permanent virtual circuit.
