Abstract
An apparatus and a method are provided for monitoring the switching paths of a time/space coupling network in a coupling network (SN), having an originating address generator (UAG) for generating an originating address (UA) to be switched, a target value address generator (SE) for producing an expected target value address, and a comparator apparatus (V) for acquiring and comparing a switched originating address (UA′) on a predetermined output line (AKL) of the time/space coupling network (ZRKN) with the expected target value address. In this way, the time/space coupling network can be monitored or, respectively, tested reliably and completely.
