A rapidly installable and rapidly removable set of equipment (1-6, 11) which can be replaced by standard exchanges, furnished with individual electronic circuits for monitoring proper operation (1a-6a, 20a-23a, 30a-32a, 1 1a) assuming, at their level, a BITE function (Build [sic] In Test Equipment) for testing, for fault diagnosis and for issuing fault messages sent by data transmission to a central maintenance computer (7) itself formulating a report regarding the overall state of operation of the set of equipment. It relates more especially to the hardware parts of the electronic circuits for monitoring proper operation which are integral with the equipment (1-6) or with equipment parts (20-23, 30-32) and which are furnished with a nonvolatile memory (405) and by means of detection, selection and capture (403, 413, 423) into their nonvolatile memories (405), of the report formulated by the central maintenance computer (7). Since these hardware parts of circuits for monitoring proper operation track the tribulations of the equipment parts or pieces of equipment with which they are integral, they make it possible for the latest report regarding the overall state of operation of the set of equipment often causing the removal, to be always available, in a repair center, with an item removed for repair, thereby facilitating the drawing up of a repair diagnosis.
