ABSTRACT:
For use in a telecommunications network containing a component to be tested ("UUT"), a system for, and method of, providing in-band and out-of-band signals to test and analyze the UUT. The system includes: (1) a programmable switch coupled to the UUT through the telecommunications network via an in-band and out-of-band signaling path capable of providing in-band and out-of-band signaling to the UUT and (2) a host controller coupled to the switch for communication of data therebetween, the host controller further couplable to the UUT via an out-of-band signaling path capable of providing out-of-band signaling to the UUT, the host controller capable of storing and executing a sequence of instructions to test the UUT via at least one of the in-band and out-of-band signaling paths, the switch being programmable and the sequence of instructions being adaptable to allow the switch and the host controller to adapt to a particular signaling protocol of the UUT.
