Abstract
A method of performing work on a communication system in accordance with a work assignment includes a step of identifying a data file associated with the work assignment, the data file including subscription information and network location information. The method also includes a step of preparing at least a first set of test parameters for performing a network test, the first set of parameters based on, at least in part, the subscription information and the network location information. The test parameters are then communicated to a test device. Thereafter, the test device performs a first test using the first set of test parameters.

20. A test meter for use in testing a communication system, the test meter comprising:
-
a) a communication circuit operable to communicate with a central control system;
b) a measurement circuit operable to obtain measurements from the communication system;
c) a controller operably coupled to the communication circuit, the controller operable to communicate information corresponding to at least one data file to the central control system via the communication circuit, the data file including network address information and subscription information;
receive a first set of test parameters from the head end controller, the first set of test parameters based on the network address information and subscription information cause the measurement device to perform a first test based on the first set of test parameters. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
