Abstract

A device for checking bit errors occurring in datacells, used in switching equipment which forms part of a telecommunication system, includes an error discovery unit to detect bit errors occurring within an information carrying part of a datacell, and a counter and a processor unit to note the bit error in a bit error recording unit. The error discovery unit can also be used to amend the information carrying part and/or correct the bit error.
