In order to prevent 'jabber', the uncontrolled transmission of messages on a communication channel, an antijabber timing unit is frequently used to determine whether a message on the communication channel exceeds the maximum permitted length of time. The present invention provides testing apparatus to determine when the antijabber timing unit is functioning accurately. In addition, protection is provided so that the testing apparatus does not compromise the function of the antijabber timing unit during subsequent message transmission. The antijabber timing unit is also used as part of the enable function for the transmission of messages over a channel to prevent the failure of a single component from resulting in inadvertent transmission of information. |
