  SPACE.com -- Salyut 7: A Space Station Back From the Dead
The crew working onboard Salyut 7 in 1984 performed surgical work on the outside of the station, isolating the damaged portion of the line and installing a bypass segment into the system.
On February 11, 1985, as Salyut 7 was flying unmanned, a ground controller accidentally cut off communications with the station.
Salyut 7 was in working order by the beginning of 1986, while at the Baikonur Cosmodrome, processing crews were preparing a new station for launch.

  Space Station K-12 Background Information
Starting with Salyut 6 and 7, a change was seen; these were built with two docking ports, which allowed a second crew to visit, bringing a new spacecraft (for technical reasons, a Soyuz capsule cannot spend more than a few months on orbit, even powered down, safely) with them.
This concept was expanded on Salyut 7, which "hard docked" with a TKS tug shortly before it was abandoned; this served as a proof-of-concept for the use of modular space stations.
After Salyut 6 manned operations were discontinued in 1981, a heavy unmanned spacecraft called TKS and developed using hardware left from the canceled Almaz program was docked to the station as a hardware test.
