Abstract: A multi-unit test system performs automated and dynamically alterable, double-ended testing of telephone lines, whose service is provided on copper cable pairs. A prescribed set of (e.g., twelve) individual tests are executed either from a hand-held measurement unit, or by a central office-resident direct access test unit, or by a collaboration of the two. The hand-held measurement unit and the direct access test unit exchange FSK-based test control messages with one another that are effective to cause a selected electrical condition to be applied to a first portion of the wireline and to cause a prescribed electrical measurement to be made at a second portion of the wireline.

Abstract: A possible-to-sway fence connector includes a fix base and a movable base. The fix base is fixed on a vertical side of a post of a fence, having two studs with a pivot hole at a right and a left side. The movable base has a rear convex sidewall with a horizontal pivot hole and two studs with a pivot hole. Then an end of a transverse tube of a fence is combined with the movable base in such a way that the transverse tube may sway to the right and the left side. Further, the movable base is positioned in the fix base by means of a horizontal pivot extending in the pivot hole of the movable tube. Thus, movable base can swing up and down with the horizontal pivot relative to the fix base, and the transverse tube can swing to the right and the left side so that units of a fence between two posts can be adjusted in mutual angles up and down, and right and left.
