At least two branch contact points and/or at least two complete contact rows can link to each other with checkout equipment by syndeton, and wherein this syndeton comprises at least one testbus.About " connecting structure ", be meant that in order between checkout equipment and two targets, to set up an electrical connection this target for example is branch contact point and/or contact row at least, the suitable connecting circuit that provides with forms such as cable and/or electric wire, plug, switches.Those skilled in the art can realize the typical types of checkout equipment, and it is applicable to the type of target to be measured usually.In field of telecommunications, target to be measured generally is a telecommunication line.Those skilled in the art know all kinds of the checkout equipment that is used for this purpose, especially detection head.Should be pointed out that novel syndeton needing to be generally used for the connection of any type of at least two targets detecting.Can be used for detecting a plurality of targets in remote test device, and this target is positioned under the situation in distance " central authorities " checkout equipment place far away, this syndeton is high efficiency.Under the situation that detects telecommunication line, remote test device can be connected with several points, and at this some place, the some parts on several threads road links to each other with the other parts of suitable modules or parts.For example, detect to insert mouthful can the row of electric shock form be provided in module or the parts.Thereby, detect under the situation of telecommunication line in this syndeton of utilization, a plurality of modules or parts, and/or this module or parts be suitable for couple together by at least one testbus the insertion point.

In this context, testbus is an electrical connection, its " connection " target to be measured.Opposite with star structure, a plurality of targets can link to each other with " central authorities " detector by testbus.What deserves to be mentioned is, one or more testbus can be provided in syndeton.

Measuring equipment may further include a communication bus, and it can form a territory bus.Should be pointed out that above-mentioned testbus is used to transmit measured signal.For to different control device transmission of control signals, provide particularly territory bus of communication bus.It is that the mode of same structure provides that testbus and communication bus can walk abreast.Yet they also can have at every bus and different structures.Term " territory bus " is a kind of bus, and it is used for a plurality of long-range contact or targets and central linking to each other of connecting.Those skilled in the art know the territory bus, so it also can use in the present invention.For example, the territory bus can be a CAN bus.About the feature of CAN bus, with reference to ISO11898.The disclosed content of these documents is quoted combined at this.The special characteristic of CAN bus can be recognized from these documents.When being connected with measuring system with existing detection, CAN bus advantage is that structure is simple relatively, and allows to connect a large amount of remote objects.In addition, the CAN bus has high stability.Particularly, it can comprise two symmetric lines.If wherein a circuit is interrupted or disturbs,, can use ground connection connection in order to keep the electrical potential difference of transmission signals.In addition, the CAN bus is for the reliable solution that managed conflict.This has described the situation that two remote base stations will send a signal simultaneously.In the CAN bus,, tissue and processing are provided to this situation as can taking passages out from above-mentioned list of references.The CAN bus not only can be transmitted the signal of a certain target of request visit, and this target for example is specific Telecommunication Lines, and CAN also can transmit other data, configuration data for example, confirmation signal, the malfunction of one of them base station etc.The operating state of any docking station and bus self can send by signal.In addition, software can be downloaded to any docking station.CAN bus message identifier can be used to locate a certain base station than low order.Higher significance bit (referring to above-mentioned list of references) can be used to distinguish the order of priority of effective information.Under the situation that reaches the maximum quantity that connects the base station, can utilize equipment that information reproduction is arrived the expansion bus part.The CAN bus also allows payload data not limited by address bit.Simultaneously, keep high priority traffic, for example send effectively (actual) information.

Also can select a kind of territory bus to use in the group that P-net and Ethernet are formed from measure territory bus, contact bus-C, position bus, contact bus-S, the profibus that selects the bus by DIN-.About contact bus-C and position bus, with reference to IEEE1118.The details of interbus-S can be referring to DIN19258.PROFIBUS then describes in DIN15245.Here with reference to combining above-mentioned all documents.Should be pointed out that Ethernet is known for computer system.About Ethernet is used in conjunction with effective (actual) metal pathway, this effective metal path is connected to telecommunication subscriber line, this is considered to novel measure, and using or do not use above-mentioned electric shock row and/or it to comprise the situation of the syndeton of a testbus, all demonstrates advantage.It has been generally acknowledged that remote detection device is novel by above-mentioned a kind of bus with being connected of a plurality of objects, and be the disclosed part of this specification, wherein this remote object such as, subscribers feeder, divide contact point, contact row, telco module etc.Therefore, the syndeton of so one or more above-mentioned buses of use can be used in separately in the telecommunication system, joint detection particularly, in the telecommunication system of monitoring and measurement, and this syndeton has shown those advantages mentioned above, particularly the advantage that links to each other with different bus with syndeton.

Be each target, utilize short electric wire or stub cable, joint detection bus and target to be measured are such as minute contact point and/or contact row.Usually this means provides electric wire or cable, and this electric wire or cable are detecting target to be measured or interrupt at that place of monitor access.At this point of interruption, in order to allow to be connected, particularly be connected with a telecommunication line to be measured with a remote test device of selecting, suitable connecting circuit, switch and relay is provided.Any when needn't detect specific circuit, can disconnect being connected of this specified point and testbus, the switch of control terminal point and connecting circuit.This control is with high-level execution.Yet in legacy system, end point will keep being connected with testbus with short electric wire between the testbus.

In this novel syndeton,, provide at least one main switch for disconnecting being connected of at least one short electric wire and this testbus.As above-outlined, at least two short electric wires are provided, every and a target to be measured link.Short electric wire with or can be connected with testbus.In legacy system, although detected another target in a plurality of targets that are connected with testbus, this connection also will keep for all remain target.Any short electric wire that is connected with testbus is all to influential by the signal of this testbus transmission.Short electric wire plays a part antenna in fact, and can be from receiving extra signal on every side.When by telecommunication line transmission relative high frequency signal, and during by this testbus transmission, this is with regard to particular importance.

This novel syndeton provides the signal with better quality, and this signal can be transferred to checkout equipment.By at least one main switch, one or more short electric wire can be from testbus power on disconnection, the deleterious effects of the signal that transmits in the minimized detection bus thus.But the short electric wire that each and testbus disconnect all can produce positive impact, and preferably, the short electric wire of all of use can disconnect.In this mode, when detecting a specific objective, be transferred to the influence that the signal of checkout equipment can not worsened as much as possible.Therefore, the electrical connection between checkout equipment and the target to be measured is not subjected to the restriction of short electric wire or cable as far as possible.Especially when detecting specific objective, and nonessential electrical connection and part cable or electric wire just can remove.When detecting, can disconnect not necessary short electric wire, and only keep the direct connection between checkout gear and the target to be measured.

The switch that should also be noted that the short electric wire of permission disconnection in the syndeton is in minimum rank.In other words, in short electric wire, have other switch, particularly from the short electric wire of originally short electric wire and end point expansion, at this end point place, provide target to be measured, particularly telecommunication line, and lacked the metal pathway between the electric wire.Its advantage is that any short electric wire that may worsen the signal of testbus transmission can disconnect.As described, this is to be independent of higher level, and in this rank, so short electric wire can be connected with end point or disconnect, target particularly to be measured, for example Telecommunication Lines.In syndeton, can advantageously avoid a short electric wire that obturation is obstructed, also can be described as the bridge circuit tap.Therefore, can the eliminate the effects of the act possible cause of failures of signal of testbus transmission.

In syndeton, secondary stub wires is electrically connected on maybe can be connected in this weak point electric wire, wherein should be connected with testbus by short electric wire.For example in fact, in having the telecommunications zone of a plurality of telco modules, the main short electric wire of expanding out from testbus can be used as the local bus of these all modules of zone of connection (along).In addition, secondary stub wires can be expanded out from main short electric wire.Every less important short electric wire can link to each other with particular module.Moreover all there is metal pathway each contact in a plurality of contacts on the module in order to allow, and the shorter electric wire of deep layer can be provided.As example further, a plurality of contacts rows can be connected with remote test device with a plurality of short electric wires by testbus.For a plurality of minutes contact points or a plurality of contact of drawing are connected with main short electric wire, can provide secondary stub wires among the row of contact.At suitable place, company contact, also therefore select specific telecommunication line in order to select specific contact, this telecommunication line can provide switch for detection is connected with testbus with monitoring purposes.When at least one secondary stub wires that is connected with main short electric wire can be by less important switch when main short electric wire disconnects, this is favourable for the quality of signals that is transferred to checkout equipment.
