Abstract
An engineering order wire arrangement is provided for a synchronous telecommunications network comprising a plurality of nodes interconnected via transmission paths, each path accommodating a plurality of transmission channels. Engineering voice traffic is carried on a first overhead channel having a defined network route topology. A second overhead channel is used to define a model network having a a route topology identical to that of the first overhead channel. The model network is tested to determine its integrity, i.e. the absence of loops. If the model network is found to be defective, both networks are reconfigured.
