Responder for automatic testing of terminals of a telecommunications network.

摘要

The responder (AS) is connected via at least one line of a telecommunications network and via at least one interface module (BG) to at least one computer (R) which independently identifies the different terminal types which are permitted in the telecommunications network. According to the identified terminal type, test sequences are automatically and/or manually selected in the computer (R) for a terminal which is to be tested. The test sequences are designed in such a way that all the functions of the different terminals can be tested by the responder (AS). Furthermore, a plurality of responders (AS) can be used in a telecommunications network implemented in accordance with the ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) standard for automatic testing of terminals, not all responders (AS) having to be provided with all service features. In particular, not all responders (AS) need to be configurable in situ, since a configuration can be carried out via the telecommunications network from a fully configured responder (AS) with the aid of a remote controller.
