Embodiment Construction

[0007] The present invention provides several methods to indicate in an easy-to-understand manner to the user that the MTA 10 has not been properly configured and to direct the user to take steps to correct the situation, eg, by contacting their service provider to resolve the problem. These methods involve playing an audio sequence including a voice message and / or a sequence of audio tones to indicate a particular problem and how to resolve it.

[0008] Communication via the MTA 10 as a cable modem with a communication network 5 such as, but not limited to, an internet protocol based cable network is well known. Therefore, no further description is required regarding the communication of the MTA 10 with the communication network 5 . However, for the sake of facilitating an understanding of certain aspects of the invention, an explanation of the MTA 10 of the invention follows.

[0009] now refer to figure 1 , the MTA 10 of the present invention includes a digital signal pro...

Abstract

A method and an apparatus, which generates and plays diagnostic messages (16, 18) indicative of a media terminal adaptor (10) provisioning status (28). The media terminal adaptor (10) detects errors in its provisioning status (28) or an out-of-service state (30). Thus, when a telephone (50) connected to the media terminal adaptor (10) is taken off-hook and the media terminal adaptor (10) that is not provisioned (28), or placed in an out-of-service state (30) by the service provider, the media terminal adaptor (10) will generate then an appropriate diagnostic audio voice message (16) or tone sequence (18) to the telephone (50) instructing the listener on how to proceed in order to resolve the problem (34).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a cable modem incorporating a media terminal adapter, and more particularly to a media terminal adapter (MTA) that determines a failure or out-of-service condition and generates appropriate diagnostic audio voice messages or tone sequences via a telephone set to Instructs the listener how to proceed to resolve provisioning failure or out of service conditions. Background technique [0002] A Media Terminal Adapter (MTA) is used to convert digital data to analog audio for the telephone. The MTA requires a strict sequence of offers before it can be operated. In a Packet Cable environment, a total of 25 steps must be completed to be operational, and 11 additional steps must be completed in order to establish security associated with the call agent. These provisioning steps are controlled by a Multiservice Operator (MSO) or Internet Service Provider (ISP), and are MSO provisioning servers (MTA Dynamic Host Configuration P...
