Abstract
A method of testing a communication line includes applying a voltage as a function of time on the communication line and measuring at least a first current and a second current flowing via the communication line. The second current is measured at a different point in time than the first current. The method includes deciding whether a given terminal element is connected to the communication line based on the first current and the second current.
