1. A system for testing comprising:

  • a controller operatively connected to a computing device to facilitate communication over an out-of-band control link;

    a microcontroller for communication with the controller over the out-of-band control link, the microcontroller controlling a device interface module and including a position reporting system providing a location of the microcontroller to the controller over the out-of-band control link;

    a handheld device operatively connected to the device interface module; and

    an audio generator operatively connected to the microcontroller for providing audio messages to the handheld device through the device interface module, whereinthe microcontroller is adapted to receive a command from the controller over the out-of-band control link,the microcontroller determines whether the command is a status query command, transmission command or a visual indicator command,the microcontroller initiates in-band communication using the device interface module upon receipt of the command from the controller over the out-of-band control link, andthe audio generator is configured to generate a unique audio message to identify the handheld device.
