METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR AUTOMATIC DETECTION OF AN INCORRECT DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER LINE MODEM AND FILTER CONFIGURATION AT A CUSTOMER PREMISES

摘要

A communication network is operated by collecting data rate information for at least one Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), comparing the collected data rate information with a provisioned data rate associated with the at least one DSL, resetting the at least one DSL if the collected data rate information for the at least one DSL is less than the provisioned data rate associated with the at least one DSL, performing a statistical analysis on time the at least one DSL operates at about the provisioned data rate versus time the at least one DSL operates below the provisioned data rate, and determining whether the at least one DSL has an impedance problem based on the statistical analysis.
