Digital transmission equipment
First Claim
1. Digital termination equipment for use in signal transmission over a 2-wire subscriber line through an interface transformer, comprising:
- an impedance means functionally provided between the 2-wire subscriber line and the interface transformer for generating a high impedance which is large enough to block off the transmission of signals over said subscriber line when a current more than a predetermined current value flows in said impedance means;
a power supply means having first and second terminals, the first terminal being connected to a winding of the interface transformer for supplying a voltage to said impedance means through the winding during a local loopback testing; and
a current path forming means connected to the impedance means and to the second terminal of the power supply means for forming a current path between the impedance means and the second terminal of the power supply means when a voltage more than a predetermined voltage value is applied.

Abstract
Digital termination equipment for use in signal transmission over a 2-wire subscriber line through an interface transformer includes an impedance unit functionally provided between the 2-wire subscriber line and the interface transformer for generating a high impedance when a current more than a predetermined current value flows therein. A power supply unit is provided having first and second terminals. The first terminal is connected to a winding of the interface transformer for supplying a voltage to the impedance unit through the winding. A current path forming circuit is connected to the impedance unit and to the second terminal of the power supply unit for forming a current path between the impedance unit and the second terminal of the power supply unit when a voltage more than a predetermined voltage value is applied. The power supply unit includes a dc power source and a switch connected in series to the dc power source. The switch is turned on when a local loopback testing is executed.
