LINE CARDS FOR UVG, COIN, ISDN, AND SPECIAL SERVICES

摘要

A method and apparatus for the generation of special telecommunications services including integrated services digital network (868), coin phone (870), and T1 circuits (a610) on a line card (816) which also supports Plain Old Telephone services (POTs) is presented. In a Fiber-to-the-Curb (FTTC) network configuration a line card (816) containing POTs circuits and special services circuits is used to obtain a close statistical match between the requested number of regular and special telecommunications circuits and the number of circuits available from the optical network unit (ONU)(110).
