Abstract
A smart interface converter senses initial activation in a network environment, performs preselected tests, and signals to a predefined destination. The tests performed may include internal device status, bit error rates, power levels, and the like. Signaling to a predefined destination may take place automatically on completion of the tests, or may be conditioned on the receipt of a control message addressed to the smart interface converter. The signaling by the smart interface converter may trigger events such as the activation of one or more services.
