An integrated access platform includes a first port configured to receive a first signal from a plain old telephone service (POTS) and a second port configured to receive a second signal from an asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL). The integrated access platform also includes a controller system configured to process the first signal and the second signal for access with external networks.

Integrated access platform

A simple means is provided to test the cross connect wiring of a communications system which uses a POTS splitter to separate broadband and narrow band signals. A suitable frequency test signal such as 1 KHz tone is fed at sufficient amplitude to the broadband port of the POTS splitter, so that even after attenuation by both the POTS splitter capacitance and inductance filters, it is detectable by suitably sensitive detectors connected to the narrow band port of the POTS splitter. The test signal may be applied intermittently to enable its detection even in low signal to noise situations.
