Abstract:
1. A method of simultaneously tracing a plurality of telecommunications circuits from one or more first locations to one or more second locations, comprising the steps of: (a) regenerating multiple pre-recorded speech signals; (b) selectively applying said speech signals at said first locations to said second location comprising the steps of: (i) reading a serial data stream from a speech read only memory, wherein said speech read only memory is formatted and arranged to store and output all vocabulary for the distinct block identification and distinct wire pair identification segments of speech; (ii) retrieving one of said block identification speech segments from said speech read only memory; (iii) converting said one of said speech segments to an analog output representative of said one of said speech segments; (iv) routing said analog output to a telecommunications circuit; (v) retrieving one of said pair identification speech segments from said speech read only memory; (vi) converting said one of said speech segments to an analog output representative of said one of said speech segments; and (iv) routing said analog output to a telecommunications circuit; wherein each of said telecommunication circuits receives two segments of said speech signal such that one segment is common all others in a group and a second segment that differs from the second segment of said speech signal applied to any other of said telecommunication circuit; (c) detecting at said second location, said segments of said speech signal applied to each said telecommunication circuit.
