。The communication procedure circuit 5 controls the communication device to cyclically transmit and receive time-shared data signals at predetermined intervals and cycles, but when a test request is input from the test request circuit 8, the test request is is stored, and test signals corresponding to the test contents are transmitted and received in a time-sharing manner using intervals between the transmission and reception of normal data signals until there are no more test requests. Test items for this purpose include a loop back test between the transmitting circuit 4 and the receiving circuit 3, a loop back test after passing through the modem circuit 1, and a modem circuit 1 in the bus BUS and other communication devices.
There are loop back tests and the like after passing through the data signal, and since these tests are performed using the interval between normal data signal transmission and reception, they have an undesirable effect on the transmission and reception functions. Never. When loop back is set in the modem circuit 1, the test signal sent from the communication procedure circuit 5 is sent to the transmission circuit 49, line switching circuit 2. The modem circuit 19 is returned to the communication procedure circuit 5 via the line switching circuit 2 and the receiving circuit 3. In such a signal path, if there is a disconnection, the test signal is not returned to the communication procedure circuit 5, the presence of the disconnection is detected from this K, and the display circuit 7 displays the disconnection.
