Objectives
In This Lesson, You Will Learn How The Public
Switch Telephone Network (PSTN) Was
Originally Designed To Carry Voice Services.
Next, We Will Learn That The Original Design
Of The PSTN Has Evolved To Carry Most Of
Todays Advanced Voice, Data And Video
Services.
You Will Study A Brief Overview Of The PSTN
A Building Block For Our Course.
Finally, You Will Learn How One Piece Of CPE
Works In Conjunction With The PSTN.

Demarcation Point
The FCC Defined A Point, The Demarcation Point, In The
Telecommunications Network That Separates CPE From
Telephone Company-Provided Equipment And Wiring.
The Demarcation Point Is Often Referred To As The Demarc.
Access System
The Access Component Of The PSTN Provides Customers
All Of The Wiring And Equipment For The Customers
CPE To Be Connected To The Central Core Of The Public
Switched Telephone Network.
The Access System Includes Both Lines And Trunks And The
Termination Equipment In The End Office.
Access Lines And Trunks Along With The Telephone Poles,
Conduits, Connector Boxes, Etc. Are Referred To As The
Local Loop.
