Abstract
An administrative computer and testing apparatus device is provided. The administrative computer is coupled to the testing apparatus so that the test data can be correlated with administrative information such as the location of the equipment tested. The testing apparatus can be configured as a slice for insertion between upper and lower portions of the administrative computer. The administrative computer can control the testing apparatus to provide testing in accordance with predefined test procedures. The administrative computer is user-programmable to permit user-defined test procedures to be established. Test data, e.g. test data correlated with the location information, can be communicated to a remote computer for further processing or analysis. Communication can be implemented through a modem, which can be a land-line modem or an RF or other wireless modem.
