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 port and a second data port, both of which reside on a first data switch, the method comprising:
- establishing a physical loop-back circuit between the second data port and a temporary input port of the first data switch, the first data switch comprising an asynchronous transfer mode switch;
establishing an extension permanent virtual circuit between the temporary input port and the first data port, the first data port coupled to a first data connection between the first data switch and the digital subscriber line access multiplexer;
removing a permanent virtual circuit between a second data switch and the first data port, the second data switch comprising an asynchronous transfer mode switch;
establishing a new permanent virtual circuit between the second data switch and the second data port;
routing data between the second data switch and the digital subscriber line access multiplexer via the new permanent virtual circuit, the physical loop-back circuit, the extension permanent virtual circuit, and the first data connection between the first data switch and the digital subscriber line access multiplexer;
removing the physical loop-back circuit from the second data port;
establishing a second data connection between the second data port and a port on the digital subscriber line access multiplexer;
routing data between the second data switch and the digital subscriber line access multiplexer via the new permanent virtual circuit and the second data connection;
removing the extension permanent virtual circuit between the first data port and the temporary input port; and
disconnecting the first data connection between the first data port of the first data switch and the digital subscriber line access multiplexer.

Abstract
Rehoming a DLSAM between ports residing on a first switch includes establishing a physical loop-back circuit between a second port and a temporary input port of the first switch; establishing an ePVC between the input port and a first port, the first port coupled to a first connection; removing a PVC and establishing a new PVC; routing data between the second switch and the DSLAM via the new PVC, the circuit, the ePVC, and the first connection between the first switch and the DSLAM; removing the circuit from the second port; establishing a second connection between the second port and the DSLAM; routing data between the second switch and the DSLAM via the new PVC and the second connection; removing the ePVC between the first port and the temporary input port; and disconnecting the first connection between the first port of the first switch and the DSLAM.
