Abstract

The structural method of fault location in a LAN segment has been proposed. It combines a method of many-valued fault table analysis using vectors of elementary probes with a method of structural fault location by reachability matrix, where lines of the matrix are used instead of fault table lines. Such an approach allows reduction of the area of suspected faults and fault location time. Experimental results are valid and they correspond to real behavior of LAN with defined conditions.
