Abstract
Modern stored-program switching systems require more diagnostic and maintenance procedures than those required in earlier electromechanical systems, while still requiring line and trunk transmission equipment testing. This imposes new demands on the maintenance personnel since the number of faults to be expected will be small and hence there will be little opportunity for personnel to gain expertise in maintenance. For this reason, many administrations are using centralized maintenance as described in Chapter 2. It is essential, therefore, that, in addition to local maintenance facilities, the maintenance means provided allow for remote control.
