Test Challenge
A field technician using a test set in the consumer
broadband Triple-Play environment must have access
to the data stored in the instrument at any time.
• Result Management: ability to hand out the
successful test report directly to the end customer
in a PDF file format.
• Configuration Management: when deploying new
customer profiles, technicians must load the latest
Pass/Fail limits to the instrument.
• Test Instrument Update: when new standards are
deployed, such as those for IP Video, instruments
must be field upgradeable as test set availability
for the field technician is mandatory.
• Remote Coaching: technical experts must be able to
assist field technicians with challenging line problems.
