Telecommunications test system including a test and trouble shooting expert system
First Claim
1. A telecommunication test system for a line to be tested, comprising:
- a test measurement device coupling with said line, said test measurement device determining parameter measurement data from said line;
a processor which receives said parameter measurement data;
a first communication path between said test measurement device and said processor for transmitting said parameter measurement data, said first communication path being a wireless path;
a mobile facility communicating with said processor, said communications being via a second communication path which includes a primary wireless path and a back-up wireline path;
a central office and a data test center for placing various signals on said line being tested; and
a third communication path between said mobile facility and at least one of said central office and said data test center, said third communication path including a primary wireless path and a back-up wireline path.

Abstract
A telecommunication test system for a line to be tested includes a test measurement device coupling with the line. The test measurement device determines parameter measurement data from the line. A processor receives the parameter measurement data. A first communication path between the test measurement device and the processor transmits the parameter measurement data. The first communication path is a wireless path. A mobile facility communicates with the processor. The communications are via a second communication path which includes a primary wireless path and a back-up wireline path. A central office and a data test place various signals on the line being tested. A third communication path between the mobile facility and at least one of the central office and the data test center is provided. The third communication path includes a primary wireless path and a back-up wireline path.
