Abstract
A configurable multi-port modem includes a plurality of hybrids, a plurality of receivers, a plurality of transmitters, and a switching module. Each of the plurality of hybrids is operably coupled to provide 2 to 4 wire coupling for a corresponding one of a plurality of twisted pairs that are coupled to the configurable multi-port modem. Each of the plurality of receivers is operably coupled to convert inbound DSL signals into inbound data. Each of the plurality of transmitters is operably coupled to convert outbound data into outbound DSL signals. The switching module is operable to couple at least one of the plurality of hybrids to at least one of the plurality of receivers and to at least one of the plurality of transmitters based on a configuration control signal.
