Abstract

See full text

A method of dynamically, and automatically, varying the sensitivity of a receiver coupled to receive signals on a carrier medium, such as for example POTS wiring, includes the step of detecting whether more than a predetermined number of noise events, such as for example traversals of a noise threshold level, occur within a predetermined time. If the predetermined number of noise events occur, the sensitivity of the receiver is automatically varied by a predetermined increment. For example, the noise threshold level may be raised by a predetermined voltage to vary the sensitivity of the receiver.
