Abstract
An apparatus for testing the installation of Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Lines (ADSLs) that includes an ADSL Transceiver Unit - Central Office (ATU-C), an ADSL Transceiver Unit - Remote (ATU-R) and a load coil detector. The apparatus can test the operation of the Central Office ATU, the quality of the POTS cable pair connecting the end-user to the Central Office and the operation of the end-user's equipment. The tests can be carried out by using a standard main distribution frame test cord to connect the test apparatus to the existing test jacks and test shoes at the main distribution frame.
