9.6 Landline Module Testing

The Nomad Landline Module provides an additional option for voice quality testing without

needing the Audio Server to handset uplink data collection and downlink audio sourcing. In the

Landline Module configuration, the mobile end consists of the standard test handset and Spirent ME

unit connected to a laptop which handles downlink data collection and uplink audio sourcing. The

landline end consists of the Nomad Landline Module hardware with analog phone connections as

the communications links and a computer for handling uplink data collection and downlink audio

sourcing.

Figure 9-6 - System Configuration for Landline Module Testing

The Nomad setup and configuration for both the mobile and landline end are identical to the

Remote Unit testing configuration described in Section 9.3. The only difference is that each test call

is made from the handset at the mobile end to the corresponding analog phone line on the Landline

Module. For the best results, Spirent Communications recommends dialing Line 1 using the

handset on Channel 1, Line 2 with Channel 2, etc. Assuming all four channels are available for

testing, up to four Landline Module test calls may be placed simultaneously.
