Abstract

Provided are a method, device and system for isolating services, a Distributed Point Unit (DPU), a network adapter. The method includes that: a physical division manner, used for service isolation, of a twisted pair connected between a DPU on an access network side and a network adapter on a user side is determined, wherein the physical division manner includes at least one of: a time division manner, a frequency division manner and a line space division manner; and isolation processing is performed, according to the determined physical division manner, on a Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) and a reverse power supply service executed on the DPU by user-side equipment, which are transmitted on the twisted pair. By such a method, the problem that the POTS and the reverse power supply service executed on the DPU by the user-side equipment, which are transmitted on the twisted pair, may not coexist in the related art is solved, and the effect of improving a user experience is further achieved.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for isolating services, comprising:
determining a physical division manner, used for service isolation, of a twisted pair connected between a Distributed Point Unit (DPU) on an access network side and a network adapter on a user side, wherein the physical division manner comprises at least one of: a time division manner, a frequency division manner and a line space division manner; and
performing, according to the determined physical division manner, isolation processing on a Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) and a reverse power supply service executed on the DPU by user-side equipment, which are transmitted on the twisted pair;
wherein determining the physical division manner, used for the service isolation, of the twisted pair connected between the DPU on the access network side and the network adapter on the user side comprises: when there is merely one twisted pair between the DPU and the network adapter, determining the physical division manner to be the time division manner and/or the frequency division manner; and
when the physical division manner is determined to be the time division manner, performing, according to the determined physical division manner, isolation processing on the POTS and the reverse power supply service executed on the DPU by the user-side equipment, which are transmitted on the twisted pair comprises: judging whether there exists the POTS on the twisted pair or not when a judgment result is that there exists the POTS on the twisted pair, stopping the reverse power supply service until the POTS is ended; and/or, when the judgment result is that there is no the POTS on the twisted pair, recovering the reverse power supply service executed on the DPU by the user-side equipment.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, when the physical division manner is determined to be the frequency division manner, performing, according to the determined physical division manner, isolation processing on the POTS and the reverse power supply service executed on the DPU by the user-side equipment, which are transmitted on the twisted pair comprises:
determining different working frequency bands for the POTS and the reverse power supply service executed on the DPU by the user-side equipment, which are transmitted on the twisted pair; and
performing isolation processing on the POTS and the reverse power supply service in a manner of bearing the POTS and the reverse power supply service in the different working frequency bands.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein determining the physical division manner, used for service isolation, of the twisted pair connected between the DPU on the access network side and the network adapter on the user side comprises:
when there are at least two twisted pairs between the DPU and the network adapter, determining the physical division manner to be the line space division manner.

4. The method as claimed in claim 3 , wherein, when the physical division manner is determined to be the line space division manner, performing isolation processing on the POTS and the reverse power supply service according to the determined physical division manner comprises:
determining different twisted pairs for the POTS and the reverse power supply service; and
performing isolation processing on the POTS and the reverse power supply service in a manner of bearing the POTS and the reverse power supply service on the different twisted pairs.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , before determining the physical division manner, used for the service isolation, of the twisted pair connected between the DPU on the access network side and the network adapter on the user side, further comprising:
monitoring the POTS and/or the reverse power supply service.

6. The method as claimed in claim 2 , before determining the physical division manner, used for the service isolation, of the twisted pair connected between the DPU on the access network side and the network adapter on the user side, further comprising:
monitoring the POTS and/or the reverse power supply service.

7. A device for isolating services, comprising:
a determining component, configured to determine a physical division manner, used for service isolation, of a twisted pair connected between a Distributed Point Unit (DPU) on an access network side and a network adapter on a user side, wherein the physical division manner comprises at least one of: a time division manner, a frequency division manner and a line space division manner; and
a processing component, configured to perform, according to the determined physical division manner, isolation processing on a Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) and a reverse power supply service executed on the DPU by user-side equipment, which are transmitted on the twisted pair;
wherein the determining component comprises: a first determining element, configured to, when there is merely one twisted pair between the DPU and the network adapter, determine the physical division manner to be the time division manner and/or the frequency division manner,
wherein the processing component comprises: a judging element, configured to, when the physical division manner is determined to be the time division manner, judge whether there exists the POTS on the twisted pair or not a stopping element, configured to, when a judgment result of the judging element is that there exists the POTS on the twisted pair, stop the reverse power supply service is stopped until the POTS is ended; and/or, a recovering element, configured to, when the judgment result of the judging element is that there is no the POTS on the twisted pair, recover the reverse power supply service executed on the DPU by the user-side equipment.

8. The device as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the processing component comprises:
a second determining element, configured to, when the physical division manner is determined to be the frequency division manner, determine different working frequency bands for the POTS and the reverse power supply service executed on the DPU by the user-side equipment, which are transmitted on the twisted pair; and
a first processing element, configured to perform isolation processing on the POTS and the reverse power supply service in a manner of bearing the POTS and the reverse power supply service in the different working frequency bands.

9. The device as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the determining component comprises:
