Abstract: A communications network wherein the individual communication lines extend to peripheral user devices from a central hub. A test switch is interposed in the communication lines in the vicinity of the hub. The test switch functions to selectively disconnect one of the communication lines from the hub and instead connect that line to a tester. A remote active termination device connected in the line provides the proper line termination for the test being performed.
