However, maintenance activities on thetransfer link should be controlled in order to preclude interruption of signalling functions, either during normal serviceor while tests initiated by the overall maintenance control station are being carried out

Furthermore, the TMP-IL forthe transfer link is not likely to be aware of any faults in the signalling system unless advised by the overall signallingmaintenance control station or transfer link control station. Therefore, testing of the transfer link will not be undertakenuntil advice (or concurr

It is intended to depict a process toward fault correction, lookingfirst at the most likely causes of faults in the transfer link with speedy correction in mind, and then towar
