摘要：Presented are method and apparatus embodiments to terminate an

interruptible signal path when the interruptible signal path is unterminated. Theapparatus can comprise a signal path from a supplier-side port thru a user-side port, asignal source arranged to provide a signal to the conductor; and a signal circuit arrangedin the interruptible signal path. The apparatus can determine when the signal path isunterminated and, in that case, interrupt and terminate the signal path by putting a signalswitching device in the appropriate state and/or sending signals from the signal path to aprescribed signal level connection point. When a user device is not connected orconnected improperly, or the signals through the signal path are otherwiseunterminated, the interruptible signal path can be interrupted and terminated. Themethod and apparatus embodiments can be used in various combinations with multiplesignal paths having multiple signal branches.
