A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a network interface device (NID) having a translator element to convert an optical signal supplied by a communication system to one or more electrical signals supplied to one or more communication devices served by the NID, and a wireless transmitter to transmit a notice to a portable alerting device responsive to a UPS asserting an alarm. Additional embodiments are disclosed. | 10-09-2008 |
20080310835 | SYSTEM FOR VALIDATING INSTALLATION OF OPTICAL NETWORK DEVICES - A system for validating installation of optical network devices is disclosed. A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, an optical network device (OND) having a controller element to receive a work order from a monitoring device coupled to the OND, transmit the work order and identification data to an optical management device (OMD), receive an installation status report from the OMD based on a comparison of the identification data and validation data retrieved according to the work order, and transmit the installation status report to the monitoring device. Additional embodiments are disclosed. | 12-18-2008 |
20090252207 | METHODS AND APPARATUS TO TEST A CENTRAL OFFICE DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER LINE MODEM - Methods and apparatus to test a central office (CO) digital subscriber line (DSL) modem are disclosed. An example line termination module for a DSL access multiplexer (DSLAM) comprises a printed circuit board, a plurality of DSL terminal unit-central (DTU-C) modems implemented on the printed circuit board, a DSL terminal unit-remote (DTU-R) modem implemented on the printed circuit board to test the DTU-C modems, and a switch implemented on the printed circuit board to selectively couple the DTU-R modem to a tested one of the DTU-C modems or to a subscriber line. | 10-08-2009 |
20100091957 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING MESSAGES IN A PACKETIZED VOICE ENVIRONMENT - A particular voice management method includes invoking an updatable call completion rule in a memory of an answering machine module in customer premises equipment. The answering machine module receives an incoming call signal for a session initiation protocol user agent. The session initiation protocol user agent has a first address and the answering machine module has a second address different from the first address. The method further includes saving a message received from a calling party associated with the incoming call signal to the memory via the answering machine module. The method also includes sending a graphical user interface from the answering machine module to a display of the customer premises equipment to present information about the incoming call. | 04-15-2010 |
20130089016 | REMOTE SITE TELECOM EQUIPMENT COMMUNICATION - The present invention provides for a system, method and apparatus for monitoring telecommunication components. The invention provides a switch placed at a remote location, wherein the switch includes a converter that converts power from a first voltage to a second voltage, a plurality of communication lines for a connection to a plurality of end users; and an interface that establishes a communication link with a central office. A transmitter is associated with the converter or other switch component; the transmitter transmits a wireless signal relating to a converter or other switch component operating condition. A receiving device receives wireless signals from the transmitter and provides the signals to a serving area interface for processing and/or transmission of the signals to a Central Office for monitoring. A transmitter may initiate transmission upon the occurrence of a change in operating condition. | 04-11-2013 |
20130251120 | System and Method for Managing Messages in a Packetized Voice Environment - A method includes receiving, at a first customer premises equipment device, an indication of an incoming call. The indication is received in response to a call signal of the incoming call being received at a second customer premises equipment device from a session initiation protocol agent associated with the second customer premises equipment. The call signal is received when the second customer premises equipment device is engaged in a call. The call is distinct from the incoming call. The method includes, in response to receiving the indication, storing, at the first customer premises equipment device, a voice message from a calling party. The voice message is associated with the call signal of the incoming call. | 09-26-2013 |
20140348031 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING MESSAGES IN A PACKETIZED VOICE ENVIRONMENT - A method includes receiving a call signal associated with an incoming communication at a first device. The method includes sending a request to a second device to store a voice message at a network storage device. The second device is configured to store the voice message associated with the incoming communication based on the incoming communication being unanswered by the first device. | 11-27-2014 |

20090111452 | STANDARDIZED CONTROL OF WIRELESS DEVICES - A disclosed service for managing mobile and wireless communication devices (MWCDs) includes enabling a server to generate a standard remote configuration command (RCC) and enabling a transmitter coupled to the server to transmit the RCC wirelessly. The RCC configures a feature on a first MWCD of a first supplier and a second MWCD of a second supplier. The RCC may disable one or more of a set of selected MWCD peripheral devices. For example, the RCC may disable an MWCD camera, an MWCD microphone, and/or an MWCD speaker. In some embodiments, the RCC transitions the MWCD to a restricted state in which the MWCD is unable to record multimedia content including audio and video content. In these embodiments, the RCC may configure one or more of the features on each of a set of MWCDs within a defined geographic region. | 04-30-2009 |
