Method and system for partially automating feeder and distribution cable cross-connects

摘要

A partially automated cross-connect method and system for temporarily provisioning telephone services through the remote activation of a cross- connect between a feeder cable pair and a distribution cable using a bus pair. Permanent cross-connects are deferred until a sufficient number are accumulated that warrant a dispatch to the cross- connect location by a telephone company technician. Where the technician would manually install permanent cross-connects in place of all the previously installed temporary cross-connects. The connections previously made using the bus pair would be deactivated freeing the bus pair for future temporary cross- connects.
