Abstract

See full text

In a method for checking a subscriber line with a first and a second electrical line, wherein each line is connected to an encoder/decoder via a subscriber line circuit, the first line is connected to ground, a resistance of the second line is increased, an audio signal is outputted from the encoder/decoder to the first line; and a first frequency-selective signal is measured at a point at which the encoder/decoder is connected to the first line. Further, the second line is connected to ground, a resistance of the first line is increased, a further audio signal is output from the encoder/decoder to the second line, and a second frequency-selective signal is measured at a point at which the encoder/decoder is connected to the second line. An amplitude difference between the first and second frequency-selective signals is ascertained.
