1. A test system for testing a plug-in connector in an airplane or a spacecraft with a cabling system connected to the plug-in connector having a plug and a socket, the test system comprising:

  • a transmitting device having a first microcontroller configured to transmit at least one predetermined test signal via a wireless connection for testing an electrical connection associated with the plug-in connector;

    at least one receiving device having a second microcontroller for monitoring an arrival of the transmitted test signal at the plug-in connector for testing the plug-in connector, which is electrically coupled with the plug-in connector and which is designed for receiving the transmitted test signal and outputting at least one predetermined acknowledgement signal via the wireless connection for identifying the electrical connection of the plug-in connector in response to receiving the transmitted test signal;

    wherein the plug-in connector is addressed directly and data for the plug-in connector is alpha numeric, and the plug-in connector itself can be addressed by an unambiguous code which can be formed from a plug type.
