The present invention is an interconnection of a loop analysis test system (LATS) to a digital switching system. This arrangement includes the utilization of existing network units to establish a path connection from the computer of a LATS system to a measuring unit of the LATS system. This path through the digital switching system provides for the appropriate signaling requirements in order to simulate a telephone call to the digital switching system for connection to a subscriber. Another path is provided to connect the measuring unit to the subscriber line to be tested via a special access network. In addition, this arrangement includes a data base in the CPU switching system to provide for determining whether the connection of this path through the switching system is for a test access or for normal calling functions. The data base also records the interconnection of equipment such that the proper subscriber's line may be accessed when called by the LATS system.

Arrangement for facilitating external loop analysis testing for a

An arrangement for testing a plurality of subscriber lines, which are operationally connected to an electromechanical switching system is shown. Operational service is to be transferred from the electromechanical switching system to a digital switching system. This arrangement provides for automatically verifying the connection of the subscriber lines to the digital switching system and determining whether the proper ring signalling is transmitted to each subscriber.

Arrangement for subscriber line verification and ring testing

An arrangement for testing a single subscriber line, which is operationally connected to an electromechanical switching system is shown. Operational service is to be transferred from the electromechanical switching system to a digital switching system. The arrangement provides for isolating subscribers which share common line equipment, for verifying the subscriber's line and its ringing characteristics.

Arrangement for single line testing

An arrangement for automatically testing a plurality of subscriber lines, which are operationally connected to an electromechanical switching system is shown. Operational service is to be transferred from the electromechanical switching system to a digital switching system. This arrangement provides for automatically verifying whether the digital switching system is applying the proper ringing signal to each subscriber by a comparison with that applied by the electromechanical switching system.
