Abstract
A method and a device are described for testing the inhibit function of a network component transmission inhibiting device that allows a transmission line from the network component to the network to be inhibited by an inhibit function which causes a logical signal to be applied to a first node. The method includes the steps of: tapping the potential of the transmission line and feeding the tapped potential back to the network component; activating the inhibit function; transmitting a predetermined test signal message from the network component to the network via the transmission line during activated inhibit function; and testing the inhibit function by analyzing the fed back tapped potential in the network component.
