Abstract

See full text

A system and method for providing software-implemented, programmable testing of telephone subscriber line power conditions during ring mode. A user-controlled fault detection system for detecting subscriber line faults, including resistive faults and foreign voltages, on a telephone subscriber line during ring mode is provided. A user interface is provided to enter user-programmable threshold values corresponding to subscriber ring mode line fault conditions. A fault threshold memory, coupled to the user interface, is provided to store the generated threshold values. A current level detector identifies a ring mode current during ringing on the telephone subscriber line. A processing unit is configured and arranged to compare the ring mode current on the telephone subscriber line to the generated threshold values stored in the fault threshold memory. A fault is identified in response to the comparison.
