Abstract
A system and method for receiving a data packet in a cable network testing device from a remotely located cloud host service/device. The data packet contains selected cable test device configuration instructions. The selected device instructions, once implemented in a cable test device, configure the cable test device to perform one or more cable network testing procedures in accordance with predetermined testing parameters. The cloud host service/device contains a plurality of test device configuration instructions to be selected by a user, which user may be remote from the cable test device.
