US Patent:

8230278, Jul 24, 2012

Filed:

Nov 26, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/944855

Inventors:

Charles Lutz - Flowery Branch GA, US
Jason Spielvogel - Wheeling WV, US
Nicole Nall - Lithonia GA, US
Barron Cain - Roswell GA, US
William Keyes - Dacula GA, US
Gregory Irwin - Duluth GA, US

Assignee:

AT&T Intellectual Property, I, LP - Atlanta GA

International Classification:

G01R 31/28

US Classification:

714724, 370242

Abstract:

A test system having a sub-system to sub-system bridge may be provided that utilizes the useful attributes of a plurality of circuit testing techniques, while reducing deficiencies associated with certain types of circuit testing. A bridged test system structure is utilized to facilitate circuit testing that is more effective and time efficient. The method analyzes performance data acquired by a first component for one or more circuits, and sends that performance data to a second test component. The second test component provides test signals to the circuits, using the performance date to enhance the use of the test signals, and also provides test response data for the circuits in response to the provided test signals.

US Classification:

707 7, 709224, 709223, 707E17009

Abstract:

Customer problem reports are collected and analyzed in order to monitor, analyze, and proactively prevent the same or similar problems from reoccurring in the future. A selection of customer problem reports are received and may be prioritized for analysis. Associated network elements may be scheduled for monitoring and/or testing at a greater frequency. Network elements may be the subject of new problem reports which may be dispatched to technicians for proactive analysis and repair.
