1. A method comprising:
- switching a plurality of resistors to a first state, in which a first output of a test signal generator is connected via a first resistor of the plurality of resistors to a first wire of a first digital subscriber line of a plurality of subscriber lines, and a second output of the test signal generator is connected via a second resistor of the plurality of resistors to a second wire of the first digital subscriber line;
providing in the first state one or more signals from the test signal generator to the first digital subscriber line;
switching the plurality of resistors to a second state, in which the first output of the test signal generator is connected via a third resistor of the plurality of resistors to a first wire of a second digital subscriber line, and the second output of the test signal generator is connected via a fourth resistor of the plurality of resistors to a second wire of the second digital subscriber line; and
providing in the second state one or more signals from the test signal generator to the second digital subscriber line.

Abstract
Embodiments related to line testing are described and depicted. A digital subscriber line testing apparatus comprises a plurality of resistors and a switching device. The switching device comprises first and second signal inputs to couple the switching device to a signal generator output, and a plurality of wire terminals. The switching device is configured to switch the plurality of resistors into a first switching state and a second switching state.
