Abstract
Module (10) including a circuit board (30) having a first power-receiving connector (20) and a second power-receiving connector (42) and a power output connector (also 20). A shunt switch (60) is removably matable with posts (74) of the circuit board (30) in either of two orientations by simply being reversed in orientation, to interconnect circuits of the power output connector (20) with either the first power-receiving connector (20) or the second power-receiving connector (42). The module (10) is useful in an NIU and provides for an alternate source of power to the electronics elsewhere in the NIU as well as for voltage test probing of the power circuits (46,48) and testing of the electronics at test port connector (40), while the module also includes connectors (14) for connection of telephony distribution cable to subscriber premise wiring and test ports (16) for testing thereof.
