Abstract

See full text

A `lifeline` POTS back-up mechanism is operative to provide emergency plain old telephone service connectivity over a span-powered two-wire metallic digital subscriber loop pair, in response to a customer's phone going off-hook, during a lack of normal operating condition of the digital circuit path. A ground fault interruption signal is generated in a remote terminal and used to activate respective POTS by-pass paths in the remote terminal and a central office terminal.
