Tools and techniques are described to attach a device to a controller, whereby the controller analyzes the device inputs, looks up information about the device in a database, and then determines which inputs on the device match the defined device inputs. It then may translate information received from the device into an intermediate language. It may also use the information received from the device, the location of the device, and information about the device to create a digital twin of the device.

Automatic testing/analysis of local loops of telecommunications networks includes obtaining bits-per-tone data for a local loop of a telecommunications network and generating a bit value string from the bits-per-tone data. The bit value string is then analyzed to determine whether it includes a bit pattern indicative of an impairment of the local loop. Further approaches for automatically testing local loops of telecommunications networks include obtaining attenuation data for multiple tones carried by the local loop and determining whether the attenuation data falls below thresholds for providing a service using the local loop.

Tools and techniques are described to modify a defined space state depending on number of users in the space and/or preferences of users in the space. In some embodiments, users entering or leaving a space are noticed by network systems. A controller then modifies resources in the space to account for the greater or lesser load. In other cases, the network system notices that a specific user has entered a building. This user may have preferences stored in the system which the building control system then responds to by changing state of a device that controls physical state within the space.

Various embodiments disclosed herein relate to a building automation controller and related method and storage medium including a processor configured, through at least execution of a distributed computer program, to: receive sensor data generated by a sensor, wherein the sensor data is indicative of a state of a defined space, identify an action to be performed by a device to affect the state in accordance with an operating characteristic for the defined space, determine that the device is attached to a second controller of a plurality of additional controllers, and transmit to the second controller, an indication that the action is to be performed by the device, wherein: the distributed computer program is configured to be distributed among the processor and the plurality of additional controllers and, the processor is further configured to apportion work to be performed by the computer program between at least the additional controllers.

Tools and techniques are described to create a controller wiring board. A user, using a user interface associated with a controller, can determine which devices will be attached to a controller. The features of the devices may be already known by the controller. The controller can change wiring terminal types depending on the requirements of the devices wired to the controllers. In some embodiments, a device is wired to a module associated with the controller. The controller can signal to the module to modify its wiring terminal to match the needs of the device to be wired to that location.

A wireless base station device includes a test request unit that, upon receipt of a line test request from a host station side, transmits an implementation request for a line test to a wireless terminal station device and a test response unit that transmits at least one of a terminal identification code returned from the wireless terminal station device and a terminal identification code and a line test result of the wireless base station device to the host station side. A wireless terminal station device includes a test implementation unit that receives the implementation request for the line test from the wireless base station device, executes the line test between the wireless terminal station device and the subscriber home, and acquires the line test result and a test-signal communication unit that transmits at least one of a terminal identification code returned from a device on the subscriber home side and a terminal identification code and a line test result of the wireless terminal station device to the wireless base station device.

Disclosed is a technique for estimating crosstalk between a first and second electrical transmission lines. The method comprises obtaining measurements of a received near end crosstalk, NEXT, signal, the NEXT signal being received at a first end of the second transmission line over a time period as a result of an electrical signal sent onto the first transmission line from its first end, the obtained measurements being in the time domain. Subsequently, a crosstalk coupling estimate is obtained per transmission line sub-interval by compensating the obtained measurements in the time domain of the received NEXT signal for round-trip attenuation of the sent signal from the first end of the first line to the sub-interval and back to the first end of the second line, and an estimate of a total crosstalk coupling is obtained by adding together at least some of the obtained crosstalk coupling estimates per transmission line sub-interval.
