Method and system for protective distribution system (PDS) and infrastructure protection and management
First Claim
1. A method for managing a protective distribution system, comprising:
- monitoring an information transmission line, wherein the information transmission line comprises a first segment and a second segment that are assigned to one segment group and one or more other segments that are assigned to another segment group, the first segment of the information transmission line does not include a trunk cable, and the second segment of the information transmission line includes a trunk cable;
detecting a disturbance on the first segment of the information transmission line, wherein the detected disturbance does not exceed a first preset threshold for triggering alerts of a first alert type based on detected disturbances;
determining, responsive to the detection, a count for the number of disturbances within a first preset time period that do not exceed the first preset threshold;
determining whether the count, for the number of disturbances that do not exceed the first preset threshold, exceeds a second preset threshold, wherein the second preset threshold corresponds to a preset number of allowable disturbances within the first preset time period;
triggering an alert of the first alert type responsive to a determination that the count exceeds the second preset threshold;
determining whether an alert of a second alert type with respect to the second segment has occurred within a second preset time period;
determining whether a mode associated with the first segment of the information transmission line indicates an issue with the second segment of the information transmission line; and
modifying the mode associated with the first segment of the information transmission line to indicate an issue with the second segment of the information transmission line responsive to a determination that the alert of the second alert type has occurred within the second preset time period and that the mode associated with the first segment of the information transmission line does not indicate an issue with the second segment of the information transmission line.

Abstract
A method and system for managing a protective distribution system is disclosed. The method includes monitoring an information transmission line, detecting a disturbance on the information transmission line, displaying the disturbance as a graphical representation, comparing the disturbance to a preset threshold, and triggering an alert if the disturbance is greater than the preset threshold or the number of disturbances less than the preset threshold meets a preset number within a preset time period. A system for managing a protective distribution system is also provided. The system includes a set of instructions which when executed causes a processor to perform a method for managing an information transmission line. The system further includes an intrusion detector, an optical line terminal and/or network switch, an optical circuit switch, an optical test access point device, and a network analytic tool.
